American-born Muay Thai fighter ‘The Chef’ Luke Lessei is ready to make his debut in the world’s largest martial arts organization. Lessei says he is eager to showcase years of hard work and training for millions of fans worldwide to witness in ONE Championship.

Picking up Muay Thai at the tender young age of four, Lessei has trained his entire life and now finds himself among the elite of the elite in ‘the art of eight limbs’. And he’s looking to put on a show and announce his arrival on the big stage.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Lessei says it was his father who first introduced him to Muay Thai, and now he is excited to electrify the crowd against a tough opponent and make his dad proud.

‘The Chef’ said:

“So [my father] got me into martial arts and training when I was 4. My childhood, most of my memories revolve around martial arts, being in the gym with my dad, and just growing up with a father training his son to do what he loves to do. And that’s basically been my entire life’s work.”

Can Lessei emerge victorious in his ONE Championship debut? It certainly won’t be easy.
