“I’ll definitely be there” - Christian Lee plans to stay Adrian Lee’s coach for ‘the rest of his career’

Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion 'The Warrior' Christian Lee of Singapore and the United States is happy and thriving as head coach to younger sibling 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee.

Adrian Lee debuted in ONE Championship earlier this year, when he faced Antonio Mammarella at ONE 167, beating the Italian-Australian by second-round submission. Months later at ONE 168 in Denver, 'The Phenom' returned to tap out Nico Cornejo in the first round.

Needless to say, Adrian has been absolutely phenomenal in his time in the world's largest martial arts organization so far, and his head coach couldn't be more thrilled.

Christian Lee told Cageside Press in a recent interview that he foresees guiding his little brother for the entirety of his career.

'The Warrior' stated:

"Well, I’m definitely going to be coaching my brother for the rest of his career, as long as he wants me as his coach. And we’re real close, so I’ll definitely be there. I’m also growing my gym - Prodigy Training Center. We just opened halfway through this year and we have a lot of young guys that are just hungry to compete and get into ONE Championship. So, we’ll see. Right now, we have just a couple of amateurs and a few pros, so we’ll see who makes it there first and possibly be coaching there soon."
