As a young, up-and-coming fighter, Adrian Lee has advice for other fighters looking to make their mark in MMA.
Making both his ONE Championship and pro mixed martial arts debut at ONE 167 inside the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, the 18-year-old Lee earned an impressive victory via a second-round rear-naked choke.

Despite still being a teenager, Lee is already living up to the legacy of his big brother and sister, Angela and Christian Lee. Though he has a ways to go before he reaches the heights that they've achieved, Adrian Lee already has a few words of wisdom for aspiring fighters.
Lee said in an interview with Today Online:
“As long as you have the heart, motivation, and the will to win, you’ll be able to achieve your dreams and goals in MMA."
What comes next for Adrian Lee remains to be seen, but after what he accomplished in his first performance against Italian standout Antonio Mammarella, it's sure to be something spectacular.
ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong believes Adrian Lee is the best of the legendary Lee family
Adrian Lee is capable of big things. Perhaps even bigger than his siblings who combined have captured three world titles under the ONE Championship banner.
That's what ONE CEO and founder Chatri Sityodtong strongly believes.
During an interview with BJPenn.com, Sityodtong touted the youngest member of the Lee family as the absolute best of the bunch, believing that when compared to Angela, Christian, and the late Victoria Lee at the same age, he stands above.
“We're gonna take it slow with him even though Adrian is already better than Christian, Angela, and Victoria, when they were at that age, "Sityodtong said. "He is the best pound-for-pound in the family, you know, age-adjusted, right now. So his potential is absolutely huge.”
That is some seriously high praise, but if his performance at ONE 167 is any indicator, big things are in store for Adrian Lee's mixed martial arts career.
If you missed any of the action, ONE Championship fans in the United States and Canada can watch the ONE 167 replay on demand via Amazon Prime Video.
