"My goal is to see our fighters turn pro" - Christian Lee dreams of Prodigy Training Center students following his footsteps

ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion Christian Lee hopes to see their students at the Prodigy Training Center competing under the ONE Championship banner when the time comes.

In an interview with the world's largest martial arts promotion, 'The Warrior' shared:

"Not only in my fighting career, but in my coaching career, my goal is to see our fighters turn pro, do well, and then eventually make it into ONE Championship."

He added:

"And soon, we'll have a whole team of Prodigy representing on one of the ONE cards."

One of Lee's first students is his brother Adrian 'The Phenom' Lee, who made his promotional debut with a second-round submission victory over Antonio Mammarella at ONE 167 this past June.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old will return to action for the first time in two years when he defends 26 pounds of lightweight MMA gold against Turkish standout Alibeg Rasulov at ONE Fight Night 26 on Friday, Dec. 6.

Christian Lee believes he can end Alibeg Rasulov's winning ways

Christian Lee is supremely confident that he will retain the lightweight MMA crown at ONE Fight Night 26 while also handing Alibeg Rasulov his first defeat in 15 professional MMA bouts.

Lee recently said during an interview on The Brian Campbell Experience:

"I do have the confidence that I'm going to get through this match quickly. You know, all the respect to Rasulov, he's a great opponent, he's undefeated, but yeah, I think that he's just not ready for what I have to offer and what I bring to the table."

ONE Fight Night 26 will take place inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The entire event will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
