Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion 'The Warrior' Christian Lee believes his younger brother, 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee, is well on his way to following in his footsteps in the world's largest martial arts organization.
Adrian joined ONE Championship in June of this year, making his professional MMA debut against Antonia Mammarella of Australia with a second-round submission victory.
'The Phenom' had his second fight against Nico Cornejo in Denver at ONE 168 last September, winning by first-round rear-naked choke.
In a recent interview with DeWar Report by Val Dewar, Christian Lee says it's only a matter of time before Adrian becomes a ONE world champion.

'The Warrior' said:
"I do see him going on a similar path [as me]. He’s so talented and he has the work ethic. He has the discipline. He has everything that it takes. So, you know, for him, it’s continuing to stay focused on his goals and giving it that time required, getting the fights in, building up his record, and then I think it’s only a matter of time before he achieves his dream of becoming a world champion."
Needless to say, Adrian Lee is definitely on a path of greatness, similar to Christian's when he first started in ONE Championship.
