"Fight date set. Chef season is back 🤌"
Lessei is one of the most entertaining fighters in ONE Championship, and in every fight, he has turned out to be an absolute firecracker.
He made his debut against former world title contender Jo Nattawut in an absolute slugfest at ONE Fight Night 17.
Although he lost in his first match under the ONE Championship banner, Lessei made more than an impression to be in the fans' radars.
He then secured his first win when he scored a split decision win over Filipino-American star Eddie Abasolo at ONE Fight Night 19.
Lessei, however, dropped his third match when he fell to Bampara Kouyate in another barnburner at ONE Fight Night 23.
'The Chef' now looks to restart his march to world title contention when he takes on Jerome in Bangkok.
ONE Fight Night 27 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
Luke Lessei wants to become the face of American Muay Thai
Luke Lessei is on a mission to become the face of American Muay Thai.
The 28-year-old is determined to make his mark in ONE Championship, and in turn, carry the United States in the hallowed sport of Muay Thai.
In his post-event interviews after ONE Fight Night 19, Lessei said he wants his name to be the first to be uttered when people talk about Muay Thai in the United States.
Lessei said:
"It definitely was a challenge because I want to be known as ‘the chosen one’, ‘the star from America’. When people think of American Muay Thai, I want them to say my name in the same sentence.”
