ONE lightweight and welterweight world champion Christian Lee is one of the toughest and most exciting fighters today.
His combination of stellar overwhelming aggression, impeccable defense, unbelievable toughness and unshakable will are second to none. All these amazing qualities were present in his 2017 bout against Malaysian sensation Keanu Subba at ONE: Quest for Greatness.

Lee was just in his sophomore year at ONE Championship and came off a dominant TKO win over Jianping Wan just four months prior. His bout with Subba was a war from start to finish with both the young lions not allowing each other any chance to gain momentum.

It was a tooth-and-nail affair where Subba met Lee in the middle of the cage and answered his every striking and grappling attack with his own. Lee, in turn, did the same. After all the wild exchanges and nail-biting action, it was Christian Lee who came out on top by forcing Subba to tap via an armbar early in the third round.

Christian Lee is excited for ONE Championship's first-ever event on US soil
Christian Lee is undoubtedly excited to finally see ONE Championship head to the United States and hold an event there this year. As a two-division world champion in the promotion, 'The Warrior' couldn't be more proud.
The Asian martial arts organization announced that it will head to the US in May of this year for the ONE Fight Fight Night 10 on Prime Video. Happening at the 1stBank Center in Colorado, the card will be headlined by a massive rubber match between reigning ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson and his rival and former titleholder Adriano Moraes.
In an interview with ONE Championship, Christian Lee shared his excitement over the promotion’s American soil debut, saying:
“It’s exciting. I’m so glad that ONE Championship is finally coming to the U.S. They’ve been doing so great, completely dominating in Asia. And now with the Amazon Prime deal touching down in the U.S., I think that it’s a big time for ONE Championship.”
Christian Lee achieved the biggest feather in his cap by defeating former welterweight king Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4 late last year. At of this writing, Lee is one of only two doubt-champs in ONE Championship. With two thrones to defend, could we be seeing ‘The Warrior’ step inside the Circle by the time ONE travels to the US? Only time will tell.
