ONE two-division MMA kingpin Christian Lee believes he can more than hold his own against any lightweight and welterweight fighter in the world.

'The Warrior' doesn't mind proving it by testing himself against the best athletes outside the home of martial arts.

Appearing in an interview on DeWar Report by Val Dewar's YouTube channel, Lee expressed his desire to represent ONE Championship in a hypothetical match against representatives from other martial arts organizations, particularly its North American counterpart, the UFC.

"A dream fight for me is seeing ONE Championship do a crossover across, of course, obviously, the UFC."

The Evolve MMA and Prodigy Training Center standout continued:

"But even if it was something, any other organizations, come out there bring the fighters together and just see who’s the best fighter. I know there are so many different opinions depending on which side of the world you live on."

Christian Lee has proven time and time again that he is indeed a force to be reckoned with, and his resume practically speaks for itself.

The 26-year-old holds a 17-4 career record, with all his bouts taking place under the ONE banner. Lee is also a proven finisher, with 16 of those 17 victories coming by way of highlight reel-worthy stoppages.

While a cross-promotion bout may seem like a pipe dream from now, we know Lee will bring this A-game if this ever becomes a reality.

Christian Lee looked amazing in his MMA return

After over two years on the sidelines following the tragic passing of his sister Victoria, Christian Lee returned at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6 to defend his lightweight MMA throne.

While his match with Alibeg Rasulov ended prematurely due to an inadvertent eye poke, there's no denying that 'The Warrior' looked exceptional for as long as that match lasted.

The two-weight world champion didn't miss a beat with his versatile striking and grappling and gave the undefeated Turkish challenger all that he could handle.

The full replay of ONE Fight Night 26 is available on demand for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
