The younger brother of double ONE world champion Christian Lee spoke about his life before going full blast in his MMA journey in the "Home of Martial Arts" in an interview with Story of the Fight.

Lee said:

"I don't know. Honestly, I kind of feel bad because there's not much else to me than fighting, I mean, the only other things would be, like, I used to play a lot of video games. Or, okay, go photography and videography."

He went to share that he is more into PC games than consoles, saying:

"PC, yeah. Ever since I was a kid, I was so heavily addicted to video games, like, all day, every day."

Adrian Lee's focus now on MMA has paid outright dividends, with the 18-year-old Singaporean-American fighter undefeated in his first two matches.

He defeated Australian Antonio Mammarella in his ONE Championship debut in June last year with an opening-round submission (rear-naked choke) win. He followed it up with another first-round stoppage by submission (rear-naked choke) in his second outing in September in the United States over American Nico Cornejo.

Both victories earned him $50,000 performance bonuses from ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
