MMA rising star Adrian Lee was very honored to be part of the historic and ground-breaking ONE 172 card last March 23 inside the legendary Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
Lee's appearance in the arena to compete became more special after he won his lightweight MMA match against Takeharu Ogawa via first-round submission to extend his undefeated run under the world's largest martial arts organization.
During his in-ring interview with Mitch Chilson, Lee couldn't contain his excitement and gratefulness to everyone who was in attendance in Saitama:
"It was amazing! That was amazing! I'm so grateful and happy that I got to compete here in Saitama, Japan. I love you guys so much!"

Lee defeated Antonio Mammarella and Nico Cornejo in his first two bouts in the promotion. Both of those victories were also submission finishes, much like he did against Ogawa.
