Christian Lee eyes March return, says younger bro Adrian Lee will be back in action earlier

Christian Lee is eager to get back to action in order to resolve the anti-climactic ending to his recent return.

It had been over two years since we last saw the two-division world champion in action, but that came to an end this past weekend. Lee made his comeback in the main event of ONE Fight Night 26 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Unfortunately, his fight with Alibeg Rasulov came to a sudden and inconclusive end in the second round following an unintentional eye poke to the challenger that resulted in a no contest.

Lee spoke in his post-fight interview about doing the rematch, and while he would like to settle this score as soon as possible, he has already planned to take a bit of time off due to the upcoming birth of his next child.

'The Warrior' gave a rough time frame for when he wants to get back in there during his post-event press conference.

He also said that his younger brother Adrian, who has won back-to-back fights on the global stage this year, will likely return before he does:

"You'll likely see my brother Adrian back in action again before me. But I'm hoping to prepare for March next year."

Christian Lee will demonstrate patience once again

It must be incredibly frustrating for Christian Lee to have his return end this way.

Despite the fight seemingly going his way through two rounds, he will need to wait a bit longer before getting his hand raised.

Lee put a lot of work in to this training camp but this will now become valuable experience for the rematch.

With Adrian also getting back to action in the first quarter of 2025, it's set to be a busy period for the Lee family that will also welcome a new member.
