Reigning two-division MMA world champion Christian Lee recently revealed that his younger brother Adrian Lee was instrumental in regaining his fire to train and get back in tip-top shape.
During the ONE 172 pre-show, the welterweight and lightweight kingpin shared the exact moment when Adrian gave him a reality check to get back to training, as he narrated:
"There was a time when I stopped training. I just spent all of my time and energy training Adrian. So he would come to my house everyday, I would work with him for two hours one to two times per day. And then he got so good to the point where I was out of shape, not training, making this guy strong, and he was like throwing me around the mat. So that' when I was like, "yeah I gotta get back in there and train for myself too." And now we have that balance."
