ONE Championship fans have watched Christian Lee grow and mature in front of their very eyes.
Having debuted in the promotion all the way back in 2015, his nine years as a ONE athlete have been such a significant part of his life. However, the two-division MMA world champion does have a life away from competing.
At 26 years old, Lee has already got his dream life surrounding him as a full-time martial artist with a beautiful family to keep him company. 'The Warrior' is still incredibly passionate about MMA and becoming a better competitor, but he has other priorities in his life to balance.
He spoke about this in a recent interview with Val Dewar when talking about what brings him satisfaction outside of the circle.

For Christian Lee, being with his children is when he's at his happiest:
"For me, fun is playing with my kids. Being at home. Being able to see them have fun. Being able to interact with them. That's what I enjoy doing."

Christian Lee is about to grow the family unit even further
Christian Lee is currently preparing for another child to join the ranks of the incredible Lee family.
His long awaited comeback at ONE Fight Night 26 at the start of December ended in disappointing fashion after his opponent, Alibeg Rasulov, couldn't continue from an unintentional eye poke.
Though Lee is motivated to get back in there at the next available opportunity, he already has family commitments in place that he must attend to before he steps back on the global stage.
'The Warrior' was clear that he'd be open to running it back with Rasulov in a rematch. First, he needs to take time off due to the birth of his next child.
Lee will always be a fighter but family, understandably, has come first in his life right now.
