“Contract Signed” – Adrian Lee Joins ONE Championship’s Talent-Packed Roster

Adrian Lee is the latest fighter to sign with the world’s largest martial arts organization, ONE Championship. The brother of World Champions Christian and Angela Lee, as well as the younger brother of the late Victoria Lee, Adrian, shared the news on his Instagram page with a photo of himself holding a contract and rocking a ONE hoodie. 

Like his siblings, the 17-year-old has martial arts flowing in his veins. From parents down to his siblings, training has been part of his life. However, he is not merely riding his family’s name. Over the past couple of years, he has won championships across several sports, including mixed martial arts, pankration, kickboxing, and grappling. 

Adrian Lee is all set to follow in family’s footsteps

In his last post on Instagram prior to the news, he shared a photo of himself after conquering the North American Grappling Association Expert Men 180-pound division. 

“Contract signed  @onechampionship,” he wrote in the caption.

Among the many fans in the comments section, who are excited about the news, was ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.

“Welcome to ONE, Adrian! I’m excited for your debut!!!” the ONE chief commented.  

He is also a familiar face for some ONE Championship fans, as he has cornered his brother, Christian, in his last couple of fights. In an earlier interview with the promotion, “The Warrior” predicted that his brother was going to be “an even better version” of himself because of the skillset he possesses at his age. 

The older Lee doubled down on his previous statements in his own social media post about the news of Adrian’s signing and even hinted at the division that his brother will compete in. 

“I’m so proud to welcome my bro to @onechampionship The next ONE Lightweight World Champion! @adrianleemma,” he wrote in the caption.

What challenges await the 17-year-old?

Should Adrian compete in the lightweight division, he will join a stacked roster filled with elite names from top to bottom. From legends like Shinya Aoki and Eduard Folayang to younger contenders like Sage Northcutt and Dagi Arslanaliev, he will not be short on competitive bouts when he does make his promotional bow.

Interestingly, Christian holds the ONE Lightweight MMA World Title in addition to the welterweight crown he won in his last match at ONE on Prime Video 4 back in November 2022. Whether or not the brothers will mix it up in the Circle will be a conversation for a later time, but one thing’s for sure – Adrian Lee will be a fighter to watch out for in the coming year.
