WATCH: Christian Lee guillotines the air out of Japanese veteran Kazunori Yokota's lungs

Revisit Christian Lee's impressive submission win against Kazunori Yokota. In March 2018, Lee was matched up against Yokota at ONE: Visions of Victory. At the time, 'The Warrior' was riding a three-fight win streak, all finishes.

Meanwhile, the former DEEP featherweight champion needed to emerge victorious after suffering back-to-back losses inside the distance.

Unfortunately for Yokota, Lee proved too much when they met inside the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Following a solid first round, 'The Warrior' secured a guillotine choke in round two, extending his promotional record to 9-1.

ONE Championship honored Lee's submission win against Yokota by posting the entire fight on YouTube, which can be seen below:

Since defeating Kazunori Yokota, Christian Lee has fought under the ONE banner eleven more times.

In his last two fights, 'The Warrior' made history by becoming a two-division MMA world champion, solidifying him as one of the greatest fighters to ever compete in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Christian Lee looks to pick up where he left off in highly-anticipated return at ONE 169

Christian Lee last fought in November 2022, defeating Kiamrian Abbasov by fifth-round TKO for the ONE welterweight MMA world title.

Since then, 'The Warrior' has remained sidelined while recovering from the tragic passing of his younger sister, Victoria Lee, who was eighteen years old.

On Nov. 8, Lee will make his highly-anticipated return in the ONE 169: Atlanta co-main event.

The 26-year-old superstar's upcoming lightweight MMA title defense is against Alibeg Rasulov, an undefeated 31-year-old who made a statement by taking out Ok Rae Yoon by unanimous decision on July 5.

Rasulov's fight against Ok was supposed to be for the ONE interim lightweight world title. Unfortunately, the Turkish contender failed to make the weight and hydration limit within the official window, making him ineligible for gold despite winning in the ONE Fight Night 23 main event.

ONE 169 goes down inside the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Tickets for the North American event featuring Anatoly Malykhin defending his heavyweight MMA title against 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane can be found here.
