“I don’t feel like it’s a good driving force” - Christian Lee says beating Kiamrian Abbasov won’t serve as redemption for his family

'The Warrior' Christian Lee is not considering his family's honor when he competes against 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov to capture a second world title in ONE Championship.

The atomweight queen 'Unstoppable' Angela Lee was the first Lee sibling to attempt to become a two-division world champion. The Singaporean-American athlete lost to 'The Panda' Xiong Jing Nan as she went up a weight division.

Christian Lee will be going up in weight to challenge for the welterweight world title when he faces Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18. But ‘The Warrior’ does not view this fight as redemption for his sister losing in her match.

In an interview with The MMA Super-Fan, Lee explained his point of view;

"You know, in this case for me, I’m not doing this for any redemption. I’m not, I don’t feel like it’s a good driving force into doing something like this. For me, I’m just working as hard as I can and I’m gonna take my shot at it and give it everything I got."

Lightweight king Christian Lee will look to become a two-division world champion at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18, and the dangerous welterweight world champion will be looking to stop the Singaporean-American fighter.

Former world champion Eduard Folayang picks 'Brazen' over Christian Lee

As 'The Warrior' is attempting to make history by gaining a second world title, the former division champion Eduard Folayang is picking the welterweight king to defend his throne on November 18.

The Filipino-born fighter Folayang explained in an interview with ONE Championship why is picking the Kyrgyzstani fighter to walk away with the win. He said:

“Since Christian is moving up a weight class, I feel that the advantage always belongs to the champion Abbasov... I think the odds look like 55-45, Abbasov. This is still MMA and at the end of the day there are a lot of things to consider. It really is a battle of wits because Abbasov has the natural size advantage while Christian brings in a unique skill set. Let’s see, this will be interesting.”

This will be a highly anticipated showdown between the two reigning world champions. These divisional kings will face off at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18, live on Amazon Prime in US primetime.
