#4. ONE Championship lightweight and MMA icon Eddie Alvarez
Former multi-time MMA world champion and regular badass Eddie 'The Underground King' Alvarez has been fighting for nearly 20 years. The New jersey native has become a champion in numerous big organizations over the years, notably in Bellator and the UFC. This man has seen it all and done it all.

Even though he's been struggling in his stint at ONE Championship recently, it doesn't look like Alvarez is looking to stop anytime soon. We can hazard a guess as to what motivates the current ONE Championship lightweight fighter to push forward: his children.

Like Malykhin, Alvarez's Instagram page is filled with photos of his family, in-between training footage, motivational posts and the occasional fight clips. What's remarkable here is that two of Alvarez's boys are following in their father's footsteps as amateur wrestlers. One of them is also a successful high school football player.
With both wrestling and football being two of the toughest, most gruelling sports ever, it pays to have an inspiring father to help you push through the grind. We're sure the Alvarez brothers are always looking up to their legendary father, 'The Underground King".
Here's some footage of Alvarez's kids in their latest wrestling competition. That suplex will get you out of your seat:
#3. Former ONE Championship lightweight world champ Christian Lee
The youngest dad in our least but certainly not the weakest, former ONE Championship lightweight champion 'The Warrior' Christian Lee is the epitome of a finisher. All but one of his wins came by way of either KO or submission.
At just 20 years old, Lee became the youngest male fighter to become a major world MMA champion. His combination of frenetic grappling, piston-like straight punches and looping overhands has allowed him to wear gold even before he was allowed to drink. He also defended the title twice before losing it last year.
In May last year, the 23-year old Lee welcomes the newest member of his growing pack: a bouncing baby girl by the name of Alia Mae. Ever since the birth of his newborn, Lee couldn't stop posting about her together with his wife Katie.
Lee may have lost his ONE Championship belt last year to Ok Rae Yoon in a razor-close split decision, but the proud new father is hell-bent on getting the title back. With his young daughter by his side, we can bet that it will take more than an army to stop the Canadian-American from blasting his way back to the top.
