Christian Lee expects a more composed Victoria Lee in Circle return

Like many fans, two-division ONE champion Christian Lee is awaiting the return of MMA phenom Victoria Lee. He expects his sister to display a more composed demeanor in her return to the circle.

'The Prodigy' hasn't competed since her TKO victory over Victoria Souza in September 2021. Now 3-0 as a professional, Lee is one of the sport's hottest prospects.

Christian Lee recently spoke with ONE about his sister's return and what he expects to see. He told the promotion:

"I think that the biggest area of improvement in Victoria’s game is not so much on a specific skill, but her mentality that she’s bringing in the fight game. Before she was just so nervous, [because it’s] such a big moment for her. Every fight was so nerve-wracking, that this time she’s gonna go in calm."

Still only 18 years old, 'The Prodigy' finished three opponents in her first year at the pro level. Lee choked out Sunisa Srisen on her ONE Championship debut.

Christian Lee comments on Saygid Izagakhmaev's previous win over Shinya Aoki

'The Warrior' watched closely as rising Russian lightweight contender Saygid Izagakhmaev steamrolled Shinya Aoki at ONE 163.

The No.3-ranked contender is on track to compete for the divisional title following his third straight win inside the circle. After Izagakhmaev's performance, Lee commented in an interview with the promotion, saying:

“That was a very interesting fight. Really good job on Saygid’s fight, it was a nice knockout. Unfortunately for Shinya, that’s the story of many of his fights. It’s either he gets a takedown, smothers guys on the ground, and submits them, or he gets caught on the feet standing up and that’s many of his losses played out.”

A world title matchup between Lee and Izagakhmaev is very much on the cards, as he's currently the highest-ranked lightweight who hasn't yet faced 'The Warrior'.

Lee is confident in his ability to defend both of his belts after securing the welterweight strap from Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4.

Make sure to return for an announcement regarding Christian Lee's next fight, as it will likely be a defense of his lightweight world title.
