"One of the most entertaining fighters" - Fans hyped for Luke Lessei's display of free-flowing Muay Thai at ONE Fight Night 23
ONE Championship recently published an Instagram video sharing the incredible story of how Luke Lessei earned a roster spot in the world's largest martial arts organization.
A message from ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong has opened the door for Lessei to showcase his talents on the global stage, as the promotion wrote the video's caption with:
"From doorsteps to dominance 📦👊 Will Luke Lessei's hard work pay off at ONE Fight Night 23 on @primevideo? @lukethechef_"
The video showed Lessei and Sityodtong's conversation after the latter rewarded the American star's grind by signing him to a contract and making him part of the promotion.
This inspiring story has made the fans excited for his return to action because platform users @bvningflag, @jackson821_mma, @ortizroberto46, @goeff_quares, and @midwest_islandboy showered him with positive messages in the comment section:
"One of the most entertaining fighters out there. Keep doin your damn thing Chef. 👨🍳"

Since making his debut under the ONE banner, 'The Chef' has split his first two fights, losing his fight with Jo Nattawut in an absolute barnburner and winning against Eddie Abasolo in his latest outing at ONE Fight Night 19 in February 2024.
