"I'm focusing on my brother" - Adrian Lee says he'll repay brother Christian Lee by supporting him in his title fight

ONE lightweight MMA prospect Adrian Lee says he's ready to move his attention towards helping his older brother prepare for his next fight after putting on a mesmerizing show this past Friday.

The 18-year-old prodigy surpassed expectations at ONE 168 in Denver with another scintillating finish for the second straight time. He credits his family, team, and older brother, Christian Lee, for giving him the drive and motivation to fulfill his childhood dream. Now, he's ready to return the favor.

At the ONE 168 In-Circle interview, Adrian said:

"Well, right now, I'm focusing on my brother, Christian Lee, preparing for his title defense in Georgia. So, you know, after that, then I'll start thinking about more fights."

Christian Lee, the current ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion, is finally ready to get back to where he left off.

The last time he fought, Christian made history as an unprecedented two-division world champion in November 2022, with a shocking upset victory against former divisional king Kiamrian Abbasov.

With more than a two-year layoff, Christian will need all the support he can get to make sure that his lightweight gold stays with him.
