ONE Championship had its fair share of controversial judges' decisions, but Christian Lee's loss to Ok Rae Yoon for the ONE lightweight title in September was among the most discussed.
At the recently concluded ONE: First Strike, a video of Lee claiming he was ready to wait for his rematch with the South Korean fighter was broadcast. In the video, Lee said:
"I'm still the champion. I'm still the best fighter in the world. You can see out of his eye after the first round. He can barely walk out of the cage. He basically was handed the decision. I'm ready to fight Ok Rae Yoon today. If he wants to fight and he wants to do the rematch, we can do it as soon as possible. But if Ok is not yet ready, I will wait until he is ready and there is no one else that I'd want but him."
