Christian Lee says training at Kill Cliff FC helped give him and his brother Adrian "a different look" into fighting

Two-division ONE MMA world champion Christian Lee and his younger brother Adrian Lee trained temporarily at Kill Cliff FC during the closure of the family-owned gym United MMA. The gym recently reopened as Prodigy Training Center in December 2022.

In an interview with ONE, the lightweight and welterweight MMA king shared how their time at the renowned Florida gym helped them both:

"We had no other training or sparring partners [when] we closed the gym down. And so we started up just from the beginning again. It was just me and him. I was already getting ready for his pro debut and I felt that there was a need to have him spar with other guys than just me in the gym every day."

He continued:

"So it helped to get a different look because there were a lot of training partners around his position also fighting at lightweight or around close to lightweight that he was able to spar with and I think that helped him get ready for his pro debut."

Adrian Lee reaped the rewards of sparring at Kill Cliff FC by securing submission finishes in his first two fights under the ONE banner.

Meanwhile, Christian Lee will look to showcase what he learned from them when he defends the 170-pound MMA crown versus Alibeg Rasulov at ONE Fight Night 26 on Friday, Dec. 6, inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
