As both a fighter and a fan, ONE Championship’s lightweight world titleholder Christian Lee is incredibly excited about what the promotion will bring fans as 2022 comes to an end. Sharing his excitement with the promotion, ‘The Warrior’ said:
“I think that anyone following ONE Championship, they're in for a treat. There are going to be so many exciting fights from now to the end of the year. And the sport is growing, and ONE Championship is just growing. I think in just recent times, over the past year even, it's really just blown up.”
ONE will bring fans another spectacular night of back-to-back events, with ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18th and ONE 163 on the 19th. Christian Lee himself will headline the former in a champion vs. champion showcase as he attempts to capture the welterweight title against reigning champion Kiamrian Abbasov. In the co-main event of the evening, fans will be treated to a Muay Thai war as strawweight champion Joseph Lasiri meets ‘The Iron Man’ Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
ONE on Prime Video events will be live and free to North American audiences with a Prime Video subscription.
