Christian Lee's reign as the ONE lightweight MMA world champion was snapped by South Korean star Ok Rae Yoon in their first meeting in September 2021 at ONE: Revolution with a unanimous decision nod from the judges.
11 months after that, Lee restored order in the division by reclaiming his 26-pound golden belt with a second-round TKO finish of Ok in their world title rematch in August 2022 at ONE 160, which took place inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
ONE Championship posted this revenge victory by the Singaporean-American phenom on their YouTube channel, and the video description read:

In the opening round, 'The Warrior' displayed his elite striking skills and clipped the former world champion several times to set the tone early into the five-round war.
Fortunately for the Team Mad representative, he survived Lee's early onslaught and made it to the second round of the match.
However, Ok was caught early in the second salvo, as Lee landed a vicious right-hand punch to the side of his head. The current two-division MMA world champion then rained down multiple knee strikes, forcing the referee to stop the fight for the TKO finish.
Lee then added the ONE welterweight MMA world title to his collection when he stopped Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4.
