18-year-old Singaporean-American rising star 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee is one of the most talented young fighters in the game today. Unlike many young martial artists, Lee brings with him a poise and polish beyond his years.

Of course, that comes from training with his older brother, reigning ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA king 'The Warrior' Christian Lee, and older sister, former ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion 'Unstoppable' Angela Lee, since he was young.

That being said, Lee does not rely on his youth and athleticism. He comes in with a sound game plan for his fights. Speaking to Cageside Press in a recent interview, Lee says he has done his due diligence on upcoming opponent 'The Steel City Kid' Nico Cornejo.

'The Phenom' is confident he has developed a winning game plan to take home his second victory in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Lee said:

"I'm so stoked to get another fight. Ever since I got home from Thailand, I was itching to get another fight. I've watched quite a bit of his fights, and he seems like a decent wrestler and striker. So, I'm definitely coming in with a game plan and I plan to execute it."

Needless to say, fans eagerly await the return of Adrian Lee to ONE Championship, to see if he can continue his incredible run in the promotion.
