'The Warrior' said:

"I approach all of my fights the same way. I don't treat this like a game for me. When I get in there to fight, it's really a fight. So the best way to do that is just to take your opponent out as quickly as possible."

Lee is set to do battle with undefeated Turkish fighter Alibeg Rasulov.

The two lock horns in the main event at ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov on Prime Video, which broadcasts live in U.S. primetime on Friday, December 6, from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Christian Lee confident he will hand Alibeg Rasulov first defeat at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video: "He's just not ready"

Two-division king 'The Warrior' Christian Lee is beaming with confidence heading into his world title defense against unbeaten Turkish star Alibeg Rasulov at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video.

The Singaporean-American star believes his opponent is simply unprepared to handle the storm he will bring into the ring.

'The Warrior' said:

"I do have the confidence that I'm going to get through this match quickly. You know, all the respect to Rasulov, he's a great opponent, he's undefeated, but yeah, I think that he's just not ready for what I have to offer and what I bring to the table."
