Lee, the younger brother of ONE superstars Christian and Angela Lee, has been cutting his teeth on the local amateur MMA circuit in his native Hawaii in recent years and has established himself as one of the top prospects in the United States. Christian forecast big things for his 18-year-old sibling after he defended his United States Fight League Pankration Title late last year.
“Last night my bro Adrian Lee defended his Toughman Hawaii Pankration title against a tough opponent in Eric Cortez,” he wrote on Instagram after the feat. “He dominated the striking over 5 rounds to keep his title. Future world champion in the making.”

The youngest Lee sent tongues wagging when he announced that he had signed with ONE earlier this month – now his debut fight is locked in.
Adrian Lee’s debut ONE opponent announced
Adrian Lee will face Antonio Mammarella at ONE 167, with his first ONE fight set to go down at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, on June 7 in United States primetime.
The rising prospects will lock horns in a lightweight MMA contest. Lee has been honing his craft under the watchful eye of his father at the family gym, where he trains alongside his siblings. Christian has long been among ONE’s top stars, and the 25-year-old is the reigning ONE Lightweight and Welterweight MMA World Champion.
The oldest Lee, Angela, also enjoyed a historic run under the ONE banner. “Unstoppable” made history when she claimed the ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Title in 2019 at just 19 years old. Angela defended her belt until 2023, when she announced her retirement in the wake of the tragic passing of younger sister Victoria.
