ONE welterweight and lightweight MMA world champion Christian Lee says Adrian Lee will return the favor and corner him for his world title defense at ONE 169: Atlanta on Nov. 8.
'The Warrior' is scheduled to put his crown on the line against Turkish dynamite Alibeg Rasulov inside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Having taken a step away from the limelight in light of Victoria's passing on Boxing Day in 2022, Lee couldn't have wished for a better way to resume his journey on the biggest martial arts platform.
