On February 26, 2021, she made her first fight in the ONE Championship 129: Fists Of Fury event, where she defeated Sunisa Srisan in the second round via rear naked choke.

On July 30, 2021, she made her second fight against Wang Luping in the ONE Championship 139: Battleground event, which she won by submission with a triangle armbar in the first round.

She won the bout in the second round via ground and pound.

In 2022, Lee paused her MMA career to focus on graduating from high school.

She was slated to return with a bout against Zeba Bano at ONE Fight Night 6 in Bangkok on January 14, 2023.

Lee died in Hawaii on December 26, 2022, at the age of 18, but her death was not revealed until her older sister Angela announced it via Instagram on January 7, 2023.

Although a cause of death was not initially given, Angela later wrote an article for The Players' Tribune, entitled "Resilient", on the subject, announcing that Victoria took her own life.

The Lees shut down their family-owned MMA training facility in Waipahu, Hawaii, and said it would remain permanently closed.
