    you are a champion not just in the ring but in life and love. As a veteran I've seen and felt the pain of loved ones succumbing to their mental health struggles. I love that you are devoting yourself to helping those that need it. thankyou. testament to the amazing woman and champion you are.

      1 is only understandable killing yourself is the most selfish thing you can do you can tell that little girl had people that loved her but she chose to do what she did and honestly hope god is making her pay for it she had her whole family but killing yourself really y’all think that’s understandable it’s selfish no it’s and or buts about it

      ​@@lukemurray4950As much heartless as that comment seems I think it's a valid comment just in a rude aggressive way.
      Comitting suicide literally destroys the life of your loved ones. They'll take years and still not recover from it.
      Angela I think was very close to her sister. Now she's gone Angela couldn't come in terms with it either. She's ultimately retiring for that.
      Christian Lee took a year off took because of that and he's probably still trying to heal from that loss.

The atomweight 🐐 👏 but SO HAPPY for everything she’s going to be doing. She’s gonna save SO MANY LIVES and I can’t wait to see it, I hope for nothing but success for her and Fightstory going forward 💚🙏🏻 also, sounds like there’s still a possibility she’ll come back after a few years. She’s SO YOUNG she could still come back and DOMINATE the division again. 🤷🏻‍♂️ here’s hoping haha. Also SO excited to see her young bro Adrian’s debut, just absolute beasts all of them. Whatever happens tho I just wish them the best.

    At the age of just 27 to see such a talent retire so young is always heart-breaking but knowing of her history of the attempted suicide in 2017 (Hawaii) and for her own sister to take her life last year you can under the heavy burden of her shoulders even shutting down their family-owned MMA training facility in Hawaii. I just hope the best for her future and that someone stays by her side forever to keep her strong at all times.

Following my heart led me to a new city and the one time ive struggled this much was when i was homeless. Thinking with my brain in the past got me a house a car an education and a woman who loved me. So im a walking example of how always following your heart isnt a good choice or right choice but its just a choice.

    MMA is a hard life. I don’t know about companies like ONE, PFL, or Bellator, but UFC is reportedly not a very lucrative company to compete for. That might be one reason apart from not having one’s heart into fighting still.

    Consider also that Lee has fought for eight years. Even if one is twenty-five or twenty-six, eight years is a long time to be fighting. Injuries, the kind that don’t heal right, can add up. There’s also TBI or CTE to worry about. There’s just too much to consider and take in.

    Anyone who’s willing to go through the pain; blues, and agony that comes with competing as a MMA fighter, more power to ya. As for Angela Lee, I wish her the best and want her to be happy wherever her journey takes her.
