Christian Lee talked about how he evolved as a fighter by training with his younger brother, Adrian Lee.
In November 2022, Lee etched his name into promotional history by becoming a two-division MMA world champion. Since then, fans have eagerly waited for the 26-year-old's return to action, as he endured an extended layoff to recover from the tragic passing of his younger sister, Victoria Lee.
Since then, Christian has continued improving in the gym and focused on helping his brother, Adrian. The 18-year-old phenom started his professional MMA/ONE Championship career with two wins in 2024 against Antonio Mammarella (second-round submission) and Nico Cornejo (first-round submission).

"I was able to work a lot of my striking and wrestling through actually training my brother. Through training Adrian (and) being a coach, I feel like I was able to improve on a lot the areas of my game that I overlooked or we just didn't train because I was always so focused on going from one fight camp to the next"

Christian Lee looks to pick up where he left off in ONE Championship
Christian Lee is scheduled to make his highly-anticipated return on December 6 in the ONE Fight Night 26 main event. 'The Warrior' will defend his lightweight MMA world title against the undefeated Alibeg Rasulov.
In June, Rasulov made his ONE Championship debut, defeating Ok Rae Yoon by unanimous decision. The 31-year-old wasn't eligible to become the interim lightweight title holder on that night due to missing weight.
Rasulov plans to spoil Lee's return and end his run as a two-division MMA world champion. On the contrary, Lee plans to prove he hasn't lost a step despite not fighting for over two years.
ONE Fight Night 26 goes down inside the iconic combat sports venue of Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. The event in Bangkok can be seen live and for free by North American and Canadian viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
