ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee will be defending her title against Taiwanese fighter Jenny Huang, as ONE Championship returns to Bangkok on March 11 this year.

The event, dubbed 'Warrior Kingdom' is set to electrify the Impact Arena, with the absolute best in Asian and international mixed martial arts talents.

“I am so excited for my first title defence! I had back to back fights leading up to the title fight, and after I won the belt I took some time off.

"The goal for 2017 is to be an active champion and to stay busy. I'm really looking forward to headlining the card in Bangkok, Thailand," said the 20-year-old.

Lee, who is of mixed Canadian and Korean descent, has roots in Singapore and trains at Asia’s top MMA gym, Evolve-MMA.

Her superb combination of solid striking and grappling skills has proven to be a potent formula for success as she remains unbeaten in her MMA career.

In her last bout, Lee captured the inaugural ONE Women’s Atomweight World Championship with an inspiring victory over Japan's Mei Yamaguchi.

Lee will now make the first defence of her title against Jenny Huang.

“I absolutely love the people and their culture. I know that the crowd is gonna go crazy on fight night! Since my last fight, I've been training extremely hard, improving my skill set and I can't wait to show everyone, come March 11th.

“I've been watching Jenny and have seen her last few fights. I think that this is going to be a great fight and it will be exciting for the fans to see how our styles match up," she added.

Meanwhile, her opponent, 25-year-old Jenny Huang has an unbeaten streak with a professional MMA record of five wins and no losses.

In her most recent bout, Huang electrified the arena by executing an extremely rare submission via gogoplata, overcoming a spirited performance from Filipino fighter April Osenio.
