“The best advice” - Adrian Lee reveals the biggest lesson from esteemed siblings that has been instrumental in his career
Adrian Lee revealed the best advice he's received from his legendary fighting family.
After a successful debut at ONE 167 in June, 'The Phenom' returned to the Circle on Sept. 6 as the promotion delivered another epic night of action at Ball Arena in The Mile High City.
Squaring off with newcomer Nico Cornejo at ONE 168: Denver, Lee delivered a dominant performance and left with his second-straight submission victory under the ONE banner.
Speaking with the media alongside his brother and reigning two-division ONE world champion Christian Lee, the 18-year-old Adrian Lee shared the most valuable advice he's gotten from his siblings thus far.
"The best advice I've gotten is to stay composed and stay focused on the game plan because that's a huge factor in every fight, and it's something that's really helped me through my game," Lee said at the post-fight press conference.
With an unbeaten record and a 100 percent finish rate, it sounds like Adrian Lee is doing an excellent job of implementing the tools that his big brother has helped him develop.
Following Adrian Lee's win, Christian Lee will focus on his long-awaited return to the Circle
With Adrian Lee's successful sophomore appearance in the books, Christian Lee will turn his attention toward his long-awaited return to the Circle.
On Friday, Nov. 8, 'The Warrior' will put his ONE lightweight MMA world title on the line when he meets Turkish standout Alibeg Rasulov as part of a loaded ONE 169: Atlanta card at State Farm Arena.
While it will be Lee's first time competing in nearly two years, Rasulov will be fresh off a dominant victory over former ONE world champion Ok Rae Yoon at ONE Fight Night 23.
Immediately following his win, Rasulov sent a chilling message to Lee.
"I'm coming," he told SCMP MMA. "Just get better and get ready."
Lee vs. Rasulov will be one of four massive title fights scheduled for the promotion's debut in 'The Peach State' later this year. Follow this link for tickets for ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8 at State Farm Arena.
