Adrian Lee reiterated that it is his job to fight them and be ready to face them with the help of his father and older brother, as he explained:

"I never choose my opponents. Whoever the matchmaker or my coaches tell me to go up against, I'd fight whoever it is. It doesn't really faze me. My dad and my brother deal with all that stuff. I just deal with my fight and get ready."
