18-year-old Singaporean-American mixed martial arts prodigy 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee comes from a long line of world champion martial artists.

His entire family, from his older sister, former ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion 'Unstoppable' Angela Lee, and older brother, reigning ONE lightweight and MMA world champion Christian 'The Warrior' Lee, down to his parents, are all highly decorated athletes.

But if he weren't a fighter, Lee says he once wanted to be a professional video gamer. However, his love for martial arts trumped all, and he said that if not for MMA, he would certainly be involved in a different combat sport.

He told ESPN Honolulu in a recent interview:

"If I didn't do MMA, I'd probably do wrestling or boxing. I've always wanted to do boxing, but, you know, we've always done MMA and grappling."

'The Phenom' Adrian Lee is set to lock horns with fellow American Nico 'The Steel City Kid' Cornejo in a lightweight MMA contest at ONE 168: Denver, which broadcasts live from the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, on Friday, September 6.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free on Amazon Prime Video. But for those who want to catch the event at the stadium, tickets are available via Ticketmaster.


Adrian Lee credits double-champ brother Christian Lee for inspiring him: "He's been training me since birth"

18-year-old phenom Adrian Lee gives all credit to his older brother, two-division ONE MMA world champion Christian 'The Warrior' Lee, ahead of his second fight in the world's largest martial arts promotion.

Before Lee steps into the Circle with Nico Cornejo at ONE 168: Denver, 'The Phenom' made sure to give his older brother props.

Lee said:

"My brother. He's my brother and he's the double champ. So, yeah. He's been training me since birth so he's my biggest inspiration."
