“It was just pure aggression” – Christian Lee on his early fighting style as a teenager

Christian Lee has fought his entire MMA career in ONE Championship. When the Singaporean-American fighter made his professional debut, he was merely 17 years old.

During that time, many of his wins were earned due to his aggression and youthful strength. While speaking to The MMA Junkie Podcast, 'The Warrior' explained:

“I started fighting at a really young age. It was hard to stick to a game plan. A lot of times when I went into my fight, it was just pure aggression. It was just a street fight. Basically, I didn't even have time to think when I was in there.”

Over time, Christian Lee will round out his focus and skills in his quest to become a true mixed martial artist that's dangerous anywhere inside the circle.

'The Warrior' has proven that he deserves to be the ONE lightweight world champion. He holds notable wins over Shinya Aoki, Ok Rae Yoon, and Timofey Nastyukhin, among others.

The lightweight king will be looking to make history as he competes for a second world title headlining ONE on Prime Video 4 in US primetime on November 18.

Lee will be looking to capture the welterweight strap currently held by Russia's Kiamrian Abbasov. Lee's historic fight will be enjoyed live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Christian Lee will look for a submission

When two world champions clash at ONE on Prime Video 4, 'The Warrior' will be looking to stop the welterweight king with a submission. While speaking to ONE Championship, the Singaporean-American fighter said:

“I’ll take the finish as soon as it comes, whenever I can. But I think it’s going to be a submission in the third round.”

The ONE welterweight world champion, Kiamrian Abbasov, doubts that Lee will find any success in his bid for a second world title. While speaking to ONE, the Russian said:

“He [Christian Lee] might face issues after he gains weight and will no longer be an explosive fighter. I think he has a lot of work to do in terms of physique and to try and overcome me physically. This is a different weight category with very different rules.”
