When he's not guiding his younger brother's career in MMA, the reigning two-division ONE world champion stays busy at the Prodigy Training Center in Hawaii, training and coaching aspiring fighters.

During a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Lee revealed that he would be holding some amateur MMA events at his gym this year, all in the name of getting his fighters some experience in the fight game.

"Yeah, I am doing some amateur events at my gym as well," he said. "All just to help the fighters in our gym get experience. And I like the different things that I can learn as a coach."

As one of ONE Championship's most prolific finishers, there are few fighters better equipped to mold a new generation of MMA athletes than Christian Lee.

If you need an example, just look at his 19-year-old brother, Adrian Lee, who is off to one hell of a start inside the Circle.

Adrian Lee also bagged his third straight $50,000 bonus from ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong for the quick-fire finish.

"Being able to compete in the Saitama Super Arena, getting the 50gs, and getting a performance like that, it all still feels surreal," the younger Lee wrote on Instagram. "I couldn’t have done this without my brother, my dad, and all the training partners who helped me throughout this camp."
