On route to ONE Fight Night 23, Ok Rae Yoon has only one fight pending on his mind before riding off into the sunset.
The former ONE lightweight MMA world champion believes a world title trilogy fight against Christian Lee is on the horizon after he captures the interim gold on July 5.
Back in 2022, Lee avenged a controversial loss to Ok with a shocking second-round stoppage to reclaim his coveted belt. Now, two years later, Lee is still the lightweight champion, albeit in hiatus, and Ok is back in the runner-up position.
With an interim belt to focus on, Ok admitted to ONE Championship this week, that revenge against Lee is the only thing on his mind.
