Two-division MMA king Christian Lee reveals his favorite athlete across the sporting realm

Christian Lee looks up to many athletes for inspiration, but when it comes to naming his favorite athlete, there's only one clear choice — younger brother Adrian Lee.

The ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion sat down with Cageside Press recently to discuss several topics related to his career in the promotion. While at that, Eddie Law raised a question about the Evolve MMA and Prodigy Training Center representative's favorite sportsman.

Without taking much time, Christian Lee responded:

"I don't watch too many other sports, but I'll tell you my favorite athlete is Adrian Lee."

The youngest of the Lee siblings has been in blistering form since turning professional earlier this year. He has racked up a 2-0 run with victories against Antonio Mammarella and Nico Cornejo. Both triumphs came via a rear-naked choke submission.

Christian Lee, nicknamed 'The Warrior,' was last in action in his victorious ONE welterweight MMA world title outing against Kiamran Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4 in November 2022. It came slightly over a month before his younger sister, Victoria, took her life away on Boxing Day that year.

Christian spots a 17-4 resume with 16 wins coming by submission and KO/TKO.

Adrian Lee thrilled to share the mat with elder bro Christian Lee

Like Christian, Adrian only has one sporting hero that he looks up to, none other than the two-division MMA world champion himself.

Speaking on the opportunity to train alongside the double champ on a daily basis at their Hawaii-based gym, Prodigy Training Center, the 18-year-old told Cageside Press previously:

"I'm so lucky to train with the double champ every day. It was really quite the experience."
