At just 24 years old, reigning ONE Championship lightweight titleholder Christian Lee has already accomplished some rather spectacular feats. At this weekend's ONE on Prime Video 4, he's aiming for another incredible accomplishment.
"It's actually something I've been pushing for for a while – even before I lost my belt and regained it again," Lee told MMA Underground. "When I was defending my lightweight title, it was something I kept hinting at. I always kept telling (ONE CEO) Chatri (Sityodtong). I kept telling the media. I said, 'I want to fight for the welterweight title.'"
Lee first claimed the ONE lightweight belt at just 20 years old with a spectacular win over MMA legend Shinya Aoki in 2019.
