On March 23 at ONE 172, teenage phenom Adrian Lee is going to compete in his third professional MMA bout after previously winning his first two matches via submissions.
Lee will take on Japanese veteran Takeharu Ogawa, who stepped in on late notice, in front of the packed Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
Before getting his hands on the promotional debutant, he was interviewed by Parry Punch and discussed his mentality inside the ring:
"Whenever I enter the ring, my plan is to always finish my fight as soon as possible. So it could be submission, KO, TKO, whatever comes first."

Adrian Lee says that he will not back down against anyone that ONE Championship gives him
During the interview with Parry Punch, the Prodigy Training Center-affiliated athlete has vowed to never back down from any fighter that the world's largest martial arts organization would put in front of him.
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."
