Christian Lee says welterweight world title defense is next on his radar after ONE Fight Night 26: "That's the plan"

During his time away from the spotlight, Christian Lee has accumulated quite the to-do list which he will be looking to tick off one-by-one.

The last time that ONE Championship fans saw 'The Warrior' in action was the biggest night of his career to date.

At ONE on Prime Video 4, the reigning lightweight champion went up to welterweight and produced one of the best comebacks we have ever seen to become a two weight world champion.

Having not fought in over two years, both divisions have been eagerly anticipating his return which is only hours away at this point.

Lee will look to defend the lightweight title in the main event of ONE Fight Night 26 on December 6 at Lumpinee Stadium.

Though he isn't looking past an undefeated challenger like Alibeg Rasulov, he also knows that he has duty to attend to at welterweight.

Now that he's back, the double champion wants to be active so he has no problem with going from lightweight to the division above in the near future.

Lee spoke in a fight week interview with the Bangkok Post where he spoke about his plans for welterweight:

"Definitely! That's the plan. After this fight, I'll be getting ready to defend my welterweight title."

Christian Lee is taking things one step at a time

Christian Lee has been through a lot during his time away and there has been some serious adversity for him to face.

With that in mind, the defending champion doesn't take it for granted that he'll be able to return on December 6 to perform for the fans inside Lumpinee Stadium.

Rasulov is a serious threat and he proved that in his win over Ok Rae Yoon on his debut earlier this year.

That being said, 'The Warrior' believes that during his time away, he has become better than ever.
