ONE Championship newcomer 'The Phenom' Adrian Lee is set to make his highly anticipated professional mixed martial arts debut in a few weeks' time. But the 18-year-old rising star is already looking ahead into the future.

Lee, whose older brother is ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion Christian Lee, says is the best of the family, can't wait to step inside the Circle and showcase his skills.

One day, Lee says, he would love to also do that in his own backyard in Hawaii.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Lee said he envisions one day competing at home.

The 18-year-old said:

"I would love to compete on a show in Hawaii. I don’t know if ONE will ever be able to come to Hawaii, but if so, I’d love to be able to compete in front of my friends and family."
