Christian Lee Exclusive: ONE 160 main eventer talks huge rematch, Usman vs Edwards 2, training with Angela Lee, Amazon Prime and more

Former ONE Championship Lightweight MMA Champion Christian Lee is set to fight for retribution when he gets a rematch against the man who took his belt, Ok Rae Yoon, on Friday, August 26th at ONE Championship 160, and we had the opportunity to speak exclusively to the Canadian–American mixed martial artist ahead of this epic contest.

The Lightweight division in ONE FC has a limit of 170-pounds, the same as the UFC Welterweight division, and Lee looks to cement his place in the pantheon of great Welterweights such as Kamaru Usman, Leon Edwards, Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz, just from his home in the Singapore-based promotion.

Lee has an incredible pedigree for the fight game, as his family, including ONE Champion Atomweight MMA Champion Angela Lee, have been working alongside him for many years to help complete what is now a well-rounded mixed martial arts style of the former Pankration specialist!

Here is what Christian Lee had to say ahead of his massive ONE Championship 160 contest regarding Angela Lee, Kamaru Usman, Amazon Prime and more.

Christian Lee: You know, initially I was very upset with the decision but you know, it’s been almost a year now. I have…I no longer have any hard feelings toward the decision. You know, for me it is what it is. I’m just making sure that this time around I’m not gonna leave it in the judge’s hands.
