Christian Lee had a dream debut in ONE Championship when he defeated Australian veteran contender David Meak in December 2015 at ONE: Spirit of Champions card that went down inside the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.

His winning moment was reposted by ONE Championship on their Instagram account, and they wrote its caption with:

'The Warrior' stalked Meak right from the opening bell when he pressed him against the cage with immense pressure.

This forward pressure from Lee was too much for the Aussie warrior to handle, as he was caught by the powerful punches that eventually ended the match in less than 30 seconds.

Since that victory, Lee went on to become one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world and became the ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion.

Lee will now make his return at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6 against undefeated challenger Alibeg Rasulov for the ONE lightweight MMA world title inside the packed Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Before his clash with Rasulov, he spoke with ONE Championship for an interview and discussed about his time with the famed Kill Cliff FC when he and his brother Adrian, went on a trip there for training, as he stated:

"The training that I got down there [at Kill Cliff FC] was great. And I'm just grateful for every round that I was able to get. I was just more focused on my brother at the time. I knew that Adrian's fight was coming up. I knew that I wasn't gonna be fighting until a bit later. So I was kind of just there, like I would do a round, and then I'd sit out and I would watch my brother do a round."

ONE Fight Night 26 goes down inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Dec. 6, and North American viewers with an active Prime Video subscription can watch all the action live and for free.
