Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion Christian Lee found his home away from home in the form of South Florida's renowned Kill Cliff FC, and the 26-year-old double champ can't wait to go back.

Lee spent some time there earlier this year with his little brother 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee to get some work in, and he said the experience was positive and helpful overall.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Lee says he had a very positive experience training at Kill Cliff FC with his brother.

'The Warrior' said:

"The training that I got down there [at Kill Cliff FC] was great. And I'm just grateful for every round that I was able to get. I was just more focused on my brother at that time. I knew that Adrian's fight was coming up. I knew that I wasn't gonna be fighting until a bit later. So I was kind of just there, like I would do a round, and then I'd sit out and I would watch my brother do a round."

'The Warrior' Christian Lee is set to defend his ONE lightweight MMA world title against undefeated Turkish sensation Alibeg Rasulov.

The two throw down in the headliner of ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video, which will broadcast live in U.S. primetime this Friday, Dec. 6. The event will take place at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Christian Lee predicts Alibeg Rasulov's game plan: "I think he's going to want to mix it up"

Two-division king Christian Lee knows he's taking on one of his toughest foes yet. But the Singaporean-American star believes he already knows what Alibeg Rasulov will do in their matchup.

'The Warrior' told ONE Championship:

"I'm expecting him to try to wrestle me for five rounds and mix it up with his strikes as well, so I don't think he's going to be coming in there just diving for the takedowns. I think he's going to want to mix it up and use his strikes to set up his takedown."

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action of ONE Fight Night 26 live and for free with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
