At just 18 years old, Adrian Lee is poised to make a significant impact in the world of mixed martial arts as he prepares for his professional debut at ONE 167, scheduled for June 8 at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. Lee, hailing from a renowned MMA family that includes ONE Championship champions Christian Lee and former atomweight titleholder Angela Lee, is set to showcase his skills in the lightweight division against Antonio Mammarella, with the event airing on Prime Video in the United States.
Adrian Lee's journey into MMA is not just about his aspirations but also about continuing the legacy established by his family. Growing up in Hawaii, he trained alongside his siblings under the guidance of their father, creating a strong foundation in martial arts that has become a hallmark of the Lee family.
His sister Angela, a former ONE atomweight champion, gained widespread recognition as one of the faces of the ONE Championship before stepping away from the sport to prioritize her mental health. Meanwhile, Christian Lee has made waves in the lightweight and welterweight divisions, capturing titles and establishing himself as a dominant force in the promotion.
Adrian's older sister Victoria also made her mark in ONE Championship before her untimely passing in 2022, further solidifying the family's deep connection to the sport.
In his debut bout, Adrian Lee faces Antonio Mammarella, an opponent with a 1-0 professional record and extensive experience as an amateur fighter. The matchup not only marks Lee's introduction to the professional MMA scene but also serves as a testament to his dedication and readiness to carry on the family tradition of excellence inside the cage.
As ONE 167 approaches, with a thrilling atomweight title fight between Stamp Fairtex and Denice Zamboanga headlining the event, all eyes will be on Adrian Lee as he takes his first steps toward what promises to be a promising career in ONE Championship.
