MMA phenom Adrian Lee believes nothing could top his promotional bow and pro-MMA debut at ONE 167.
The 18-year-old enjoyed a perfect start to his ONE Championship campaign this past June, flexing his world-class striking and grappling on his way to a sumptuous rear-naked choke finish of Australian standout Antonio Mammarella inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
He looked in complete control before the match-winning moment, seemingly unfazed by the prospect of turning pro under the brightest lights with elder brother, two-division MMA king Christian Lee, in his corner.

He told ESPN Honolulu:
"My greatest accomplishment I think was winning my ONE debut."
Hailing from a family of rich martial arts history, coupled with Christian and Angela's dominant tenures as world champions under the ONE banner, it truly does not come as much of a surprise.
The Prodigy Training Center has made the long walk to the Circle on various occasions before ONE 167. Based on his impressive display in June, the young star has all the makings to achieve what his elder siblings had done in the world's largest martial arts organization.
