The Malaysian star pressed 'The Warrior' early in the opening round, landing the cleaner and more damaging shots to set the tone early into the fight.
Subba continued his success against Lee in the second round, where he opened a massive cut on his eye that made him taste his blood. Apart from his crisp striking combination, the hometown bet also mixed his attack by taking Lee to the ground and working on ground-and-pound strikes.
But Lee found his footing late in the round and almost choked out Subba with a D'arce technique as time expired.
With confidence growing on his side, Lee finally ended the match in the third round and flexed his superior grappling skills by transitioning into an armbar to force a tap out of Subba.
