ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion Christian Lee hinted that ONE Championship fans will see his younger brother and 170-pound MMA newcomer Adrian Lee competing a lot more in 2025. The 26-year-old said as much in an appearance on The Brian Campbell Experience:
"Adrian, he's an amazing fighter. Definitely has all of the skills, all the potential to be a world champion. For him, it's just about continuing to stick to his training and giving it the time. So I think that he's going to be very active."
Lee continued:
"The only reason he's not more active is because he's waiting on my schedule after this fight. So from here, we'll see Adrian in the next year be a lot more active and get a few fights under his belt."
