Adrian Lee vows to hunt for the spectacular every time he competes: “I don’t plan to leave the decision to the judges”

Adrian Lee has no intention of letting the judges get involved in his fights.

The 18-year-old phenom made a big statement in his promotional debut at ONE 167 in Bangkok, securing a sensational second-round submission victory over Australian standout Antonio Mammarella.

Though it wasn't as fast as he'd hoped, Lee made it clear that any time he stepped inside the Circle, he would be gunning for a big finish, no matter what route he had to go to get it. Speaking to Today Online in a recent interview, Lee said:

“One expectation I have is that I’ll always finish all my fights, either by knockouts, TKOs (technical knockouts), or submissions. I don’t plan to leave the decision to the judges.”

Lee knows he has a lot to live up to inside the Circle, being the younger brother of former ONE atomweight MMA queen Angela Lee and current two-division MMA world champion Christian Lee, but he's more than ready to carry on his family's famous legacy and become ONE Championship's next big thing.

If you missed any of the action, ONE Championship fans in the United States and Canada can watch the ONE 167 replay on demand via Amazon Prime Video.

With Adrian Lee's debut a success, Christian Lee will prepare for his return to action

Standing by Adrian Lee's side every step of the way has been his big brother Christian Lee — ONE Championship's current lightweight and welterweight world champion. Speaking to ONE Championship, Lee said:

"My brother, he's been here with me every step of the way, and the main thing he tells me is to stay focused on the goal and don't let anything distract you".

Now that the Prodigy Training Center star has made his long-awaited debut, Christian Lee will prepare to make his return to the Circle.

It's been nearly two years since 'The Warrior' last strapped on the four-ounce gloves, besting Kiamrian Abbasov to claim the welterweight title in an instant come-from-behind victory.

Christian Lee has expressed interest in defending both his belts before the clock runs out in 2024. The only question is, who will be the ones to challenge him?
