Lee, Askren retain titles with tapouts at ONE Championship 55

Angela Lee is still "Unstoppable."

The ONE Championship atomweight queen submitted Istela Nunes with an anaconda choke 2:18 into Round 2 of the main event Friday at the Dynasty of Heroes show in Singapore.

This one was nearly over in the first, as Lee rode her world-class grappling to contort Nunes in a twister before raining fists on her dome.

The challenger miraculously made it to the second-round horn, only for the champion to bring the fight back to the mat and lock in the fight-ending anaconda choke for her second successful title defense.

The 20-year-old Lee improved her professional record to a perfect 8-0 with her seventh win by submission. Nunes, on the other hand, was treated to her first taste of defeat in six pro bouts.

Welterweight champion Ben Askren showed no signs of ring rust in his return from a 13-month layoff, putting Agilan Thani on his hind parts before tapping him with an arm-triangle choke in just 2:20 to defend his strap in the card's co-headliner.

The 32-year-old kept his 16-fight record unblemished with his third first-round finish in four bouts under the ONE Championship banner, while Thani - 11 years his junior - falls to 7-1 as a professional.
