Lee is not just a name in ONE Championship, it is a dynasty and there will soon be another fighter joining the ranks of his illustrious siblings.
Adrian Lee, the younger brother of Christian, Angela, and the late Victoria, has penned a contract that will see him debut at ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga on June 7.
At just 18-years-of-age he not only carries the expectation of the family name but for some time now has been one of the hottest young fight properties fans have been eager to see ascend to the professional ranks.
The American-Singaporean has been primarily training out of Hawaii with brother Christian, building a reputation as a well-rounded MMA athlete despite his tender years.
To date he has built an impressive base, becoming a decorated amateur champion in MMA, kickboxing, and pankration, as well as a state wrestling champion in Hawaii.
But, on June 7 he will make the biggest step up of his short career when he takes to the cage against Italian newcomer Antonio Mammarella at the Impact Arena in Bangkok. The pair will compete in ONE’s lightweight MMA class – the division currently ruled by Adrian’s two-weight world champion brother.
It has been a tumultuous last 18 months for the Lee family. Following the passing of Victoria at just 18, sister Angela decided to call time on her MMA career, relinquishing the ONE atomweight MMA world title in the process.
Fans will be happy to welcome this new chapter of the Lee legacy, and Adrian will immediately find himself on a star-studded card – one befitting both his family name, and his ever-popular sisters.
