Christian Lee
The Canadian-American returns to the ring after a two-year hiatus to mourn the loss of his sister, a fellow MMA fighter. Christian Lee added the 185-pound title to his lightweight gold in November 2022 when he knocked out Kiamrian Abbasov in the fourth round to win the title. That was the last fight of “The Warrior” before he took a break from competing. The 26-year-old holds the promotion’s records for most wins, finishes, and knockouts. Lee, a two-time ONE lightweight world champion, is on a two-fight win streak.

Christian Lee has not yet met an opponent like me. My wrestling is better than his. I will force my wrestling on him. He has had a long delay, and I think he will get tired more than I.
Alibeg Rasulov
The 32-year-old Turkish fighter debuted in the ONE championship last July when he defeated former lightweight champion Ok Rae Yoon by decision. Alibeg Rasulov’s successes in MMA have hinged on his well-developed wrestling abilities. But when faced with a solid grappler like Yoon, Rasulov reverted to striking, showcasing his striking prowess to win the points and get a decision.
