“One of my long-term goals” - MMA debutant Adrian Lee recalls the best memories from his amateur days

ONE Championship rising star 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee of Singapore and the United States was one of the most decorated and most talented amateur fighters in his time. But the 18-year-old is now ready to make the best of his professional career in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Lee, a member of the famed Lee family of ONE Championship, has spent the majority of his formative years traveling across the globe to compete in amateur competitions. It's an experience he says he will cherish forever, and that he has fond memories of.

He told ONE Championship in a recent interview:

"One of my favorite memories would have to be just the entire experience of going to Croatia and winning Worlds. It's a fun time, and it's a great experience."

In the process, Lee has garnered many accolades, both on the national and the regional state level. The 18-year-old has a lot of hype riding behind him, but deservedly so.

'The Phenom' added:

"You know, honestly, State is actually on a smaller level compared to Nationals and Worlds, but it was a really big deal for me and I was truly still happy and felt so accomplished after I won that state title, because it was really one of my long-term goals."
