“It doesn’t matter” - Christian Lee says fixation on beating Alibeg Rasulov is above the magnitude of any event

Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion 'The Warrior' Christian Lee of the United States is no stranger to the glamor and pageantry of the combat sports game.

After all, the 26-year-old Prodigy Training Center founder has been in a plethora of big-time fights since joining ONE Championship in Dec. 2015.

And while he was once blinded by the bright lights of the world's largest martial arts organization, Lee says he now blocks all that out and is solely fixated on the task at hand -- beating the man in front of him.

Speaking to Cageside Press in a recent interview, Lee talked about the magnitude of each fight, but that it doesn't matter. All that matters is his overcoming his opponent.

'The Warrior' said:

"Whenever I get a fight booked, I’m looking forward to getting in there and fighting. There’s a lot that goes into fighting other than just the fight - there’s the media, there’s the buildup, there’s the walkout - the whole experience. To me, I’ve done it countless times. It doesn’t matter where it is, what setting. When I’m signing a fight, I’m all set to face my opponent - that’s the only thing I’m thinking about. So I’m looking forward to getting in there and fighting him."

Fans won't have to wait long to see 'The Warrior' Christian Lee back in action.
