All eyes will be on Adrian Lee at ONE 167, according to ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
The marvelous 18-year-old will follow in the footsteps of his siblings Angela, Christian, and the departed Victoria, and make his mixed martial arts debut against Antonio Mammarella on June 7 at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
While the prodigious Lee is certainly a highly-touted prospect, Sityodtong explained the gravity of his arrival to the world's largest martial arts organization.

"You know I've had a few calls with Christian and Adrian. We openly discussed and communicated on both sides the magnitude of Adrian Lee's debut, given Angela's retirement and Victoria Lee's passing."

Moreover, Sityodtong said fans are definitely intrigued given the youngster's family lineage. His eldest sister Angela was the longtime atomweight MMA world champion before her retirement last year, while his brother Christian lords over the ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA ranks.
The sensational Victoria, on the other hand, was also 3-0 in the promotion before her untimely passing in 2022.
Sityodtong added:
"The Lee family is still one of the big royal families of mixed martial arts globally. There will be tremendous amount of eyes on Adrian's debut."
