Christian Lee on training with his brother
The Lee family currently has three siblings in ONE Championship: Angela Lee, Christian Lee, and Victoria Lee. They also have a younger sibling training in MMA, 16-year-old Adrian Lee.
24-year-old Christian discussed training alongside his brother in an interview with ONE, explaining how much it helps:
“He’s the guy I can count on to be there every day to drill with, to spar with... The way we train, I always try to put myself in the worst possible situation and then work out of it from there. [Adrian] gives me very hard rounds, and he makes me push hard.”
Will Adrian Lee be following in the footsteps of his three older siblings? 'The Warrior' Christian Lee explained that his younger brother should take his time to develop in MMA.
“I would like to see him start his career with nothing being rushed. I want him to be able to enjoy his high school years, turn 18, build up a few amateur fights, and then turn professional and build up his pro record a bit before he goes on a big stage. So with him, I’m going to use the experience that I have from my career and try to make his [career] better."
