This inspiring event, originally reported by [Sportskeeda](https://www.sportskeeda.com/), emphasized the importance of mental health in the high-pressure world of MMA. [Angela Lee](https://www.millions.co/angela-lee-mma), a dominant force in the ONE Championship women's atomweight division, has experienced the exhilarating highs and challenging lows of a professional fighting career. Despite her impressive record and longstanding reign as champion, Lee's journey has been marked by personal trials, including the heart-wrenching loss of her sister, Victoria Lee, in December 2022. Retiring from the sport with an 11-3 record, Lee has shifted her focus to advocating for mental health, particularly among fighters. Her non-profit organization, Fightstory, is at the forefront of this initiative, providing a platform for fighters to discuss and address mental wellness issues. The seminar in Hawaii, featuring Penn and Inoue, brought the community together to transform personal struggles into collective strength and healing. Through her Instagram, [Angela Lee](https://www.millions.co/angela-lee-mma) expressed gratitude for the community's support and the positive impact of sharing experiences. This gathering was not just about teaching techniques; it was a profound exchange of life lessons and coping strategies, emphasizing the importance of mental health in a sport often focused solely on physical prowess. Lee's candidness about her own struggles, including a car crash in 2017 that she later revealed was a deliberate act, highlights the immense pressure fighters face. Her decision to retire and prioritize mental wellness is a powerful statement in a sport where athletes often push through personal challenges in pursuit of glory.

As Lee continues to inspire and advocate for mental wellness in the MMA community, her legacy extends beyond her championship titles. Her courage in sharing her story and empowering others to prioritize their mental health is reshaping the narrative of what it means to be a fighter. ## Comment ### TAGS [MMA](https://blog.millions.co/tag/mma) [millions](https://blog.millions.co/tag/millions) [Memorabilia](https://blog.millions.co/tag/memorabilia) [ONE Championship](https://blog.millions.co/tag/one-championship) [Angela Lee](https://blog.millions.co/tag/angela-lee) ## Related articles ##### [Angela Lee: Championing Mental Health with FightStory](https://blog.millions.co/angela-lee-championing-mental-health-with-fightstory) October 19, 2023 Image Credits: ONE ChampionshipMMA icon [Angela Lee](https://millions.co/angela-lee-mma), revered for her fierce presence in ONE...
