There have been plenty of notorious mixed martial arts siblings over the years and the Lees of ONE Championship might be the best brother-sister duo actively competing in MMA today.

On Friday, at the ONE Championship: Enter the Dragon event in Singapore, Christian Lee defeated Shinya Aoki to win the organization’s lightweight title and he did so with his sister, Angela Lee, in his corner.

Lee, fighting in front of his home crowd, showed incredible resistance to Aoki’s elite submission skills by escaping a tight armbar attempt in the opening round.

In the second frame, Lee hurt Aoki and a flurry of strikes in the corner of the ring led to a technical knockout victory.

Angela Lee recently suffered her first defeat in MMA back on March 31 when she lost her ONE strawweight title, but on Friday she was overjoyed to see a championship belt return to her family when her brother’s arm was raised.

Lee has not won three in a row as he improved to 12-3 as a pro.
