Adrian Lee is on a dogged pursuit to make his mark in ONE Championship. The youngest of the famed Lee siblings will make his second appearance under the promotion when he faces off against Nico Cornejo in a lightweight MMA matchup at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 at Ball Arena.
After his stellar submission win over Antonio Mammarella, Lee is determined to chalk up a highlight-reel finish against Cornejo and prove that he's a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.
Adrian Lee told Cageside Press that he wants to finish Cornejo in the opening round, but would be fine to get either a submission or a knockout in the latter rounds.

He said:
"You guys can expect another finish. I plan to do it in the first round, but whenever it comes, it comes."
Adrian, the youngest brother of Angela, Christian and Victoria Lee, was a menace in the amateur scene in Hawaii, collecting titles in kickboxing and pankration.
The 18-year-old, much like his older siblings, also claimed the 2023 Hawaii High School State Title and was a four-time National Youth MMA Champion.
Despite the immense pressure put on his shoulders, Lee had a debut to remember at ONE 167 when he dominated Mammarella en route to a second-round submission win.
Lee now aims to secure another win under the ONE Championship banner when he faces Denver's Cornejo at ONE 168.
