Christian Lee has a surprise for all the fans who are coming to State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on November 8.
Slated to clash with undefeated Turkish contender Alibeg Rasulov, the two-division world champion will defend his ONE lightweight MMA world title at ONE 169 when the promotion returns to U.S. soil for the second time this year.
Lee looked calm in an interview with Cageside Press, but he couldn't hide his excitement to experience his first fight in the States and to mark it with his heavy-offense style, as he did in his 21 fights with ONE Championship.

Adrian Lee believes his older brother Christian Lee will finish Alibeg Rasulov early at ONE 169
Young MMA phenom Adrian Lee is very confident that his older brother, the two-division ONE world champion Christian, will finish off Alibeg Rasulov fast.
Christian has been scheduled to defend his lightweight MMA world title at ONE 169: Atlanta. The fight will mark his return from a long period of rest and his 22nd challenge in the world's largest martial arts organization.
Given the statistics, Rasulov is no pushover. He's compiled a 14-0 record, including a massive debut victory over former lightweight title holder Ok Rae Yoon in this past July.
Nonetheless, Adrian believes that his brother's skillset is far beyond the Dagestan-born contender's abilities and that it should not be a concern at all.
Adrian shared his opinion about Christian Lee to Sports Illustrated in an exclusive interview recently:
"I don't have any particular concerns for this matchup because I truly believe that my brother will beat him in every area, and he'll make it a fast fight."
