Angela Lee and Roger Gracie were crowned new ONE champions Friday night at ONE: Ascent to Power.
Lee earned a decision over Mei Yamaguchi in the main event inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium, becoming the first-ever ONE female atomweight champion.
The victory was the first time in six fights that the 19-year-old “Unstoppable” was pushed outside of the second round. She had finished all five of her previous foes, including three in the first round.
Gracie, a veteran of the UFC and Strikeforce, slipped an arm triangle choke on Michal Pasternak in the first round to become the inaugural ONE light heavyweight champion.
In other action, former ONE featherweight champion Narantungalag Jadambaa defeated ex-ONE lightweight titleholder Kotetsu Boku via third round submission, while Christian Lee – the brother of Angela Lee – scored another quick finish.

According to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ben Askren will step back inside the ONE cage this April.
Askren, the reigning welterweight champion, will defend his belt against 25-year-old Russian Nikolay Aleksakhin at ONE: Global Rivals. The event takes place April 15 from the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila.
For Askren (14-0), a former Bellator champion, the fight will be his first since a 2015 no-contest with Luis Santos. The two signed back on the dotted line for a rematch last year, but Santos was unable to make weight and the bout was called off.
“I look forward to facing Aleksakhin,” Askren said. “He has a good record and looks like a tough opponent.”
Aleksakhin sports a record of 16-3 and is unbeaten in his last six overall. Of those, four have been finishes, including a win last November for ONE.
