“Just try to go out there and show my passion” - Luke Lessei on fans liking his fighting style

Luke Lessei is not a just any fighter. In fact, he has the deepest love for his sport, and he wants to show that to everyone in his next performance. At ONE Fight Night 23, the Iowa native will clash against French up-and-comer Bampara Kouyate inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, July 5, at U.S. primetime.

Lessei is considered one of the most entertaining fighters in the world's largest martial arts organization, where he is now seeking his second victory under the ONE banner.

​

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, 'The Chef' shared his take on why his performance captivated the eyes of Lumpinee's faithful, saying:

​

"I just think I'm a regular dude. I think I'm a cool dude. I don't think I give people a lot of reasons to hate on me when I perform."

He added:

​

"So, I don't think too much about it if they're gonna love or hate me. Just try to go out there and show my passion, show my creativity, and most people tend to enjoy that."

Lessei vs. Kouyate will air live and free for fans in the United States and Canada with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
