Adrian Lee reveals the most important advice he’s received from brother and two-division king Christian Lee
Adrian Lee, the youngest product coming out from the famous Lee family, has proven himself to be one of the future's exciting MMA talents.
In ONE 167, 'The Phenom' marked his promotional debut with a flawless victory against game opponent, Antonio Mammarella. There, he finished his foe with a rear-naked choke in round two, after previously pursuing double submission attempts in the first.
And this couldn't have happened without the hands of his older brother and two-division ruler Christian Lee, who has been there since the start.
In a recent interview with Today Online, the youngest of the Lees mentioned how Christian advised him ahead of his big debut at the sold-out Impact Arena:
"One piece of advice he's given me that I’ll always remember is to stay focused on the game plan because there are going to be a lot of things that come with MMA, such as media and photoshoots."
He added:
"I just have to remember what I came here to do, and that’s to fight.”

He shared his excitement in a recent interview with ONE Championship:
"What was once United MMA is now Prodigy Training Center, and that will be the gym that I'll be fighting out of."
