Christian Lee plans on eventually vacating lightweight MMA title for Adrian Lee
Christian Lee is a two-division MMA world champion in the lightweight and welterweight divisions. He attempted to defend his strap in the lighter division against Alibeg Rasulov. The fight ended with a no-contest because Lee accidentally landed an eye poke.
Adrian Lee is quickly climbing the lightweight MMA ranks. During the previously mentioned interview, 'The Warrior' had this to say about vacating one of his thrones once Adrian is ready:
"I won’t talk about any vacating right now, but I do plan on leaving the lightweight division for Adrian at some point in time."
Christian Lee announced he doesn't plan to face Alibeg Rasulov in an immediate rematch. Instead, the two-division MMA world champion will avoid another drastic weight cut and defend his welterweight throne next time out.
'The Warrior' believes Zebaztian Kadestam deserves the next welterweight title shot. Kadestam, a former world champion in the division, has won three consecutive fights by knockout, including his latest against Roberto Soldic.
