Christian Lee

In the second ONE on TNT event, Christian Lee showcased his skills for the United States audience.

Lee defended his ONE lightweight title with a quick finish of Timofey Nastyukhin, stopping him in the first round. 

Both fighters cautiously kept their distance early, showing respect for each other’s finishing abilities. Lee was first to engage, throwing a quick right hand and then shooting for a double-leg takedown. However, Nastyukhin was able to read the offense and defend against it.

But as Nastyukhin pushed forward with a combination, Lee caught him on the inside with a short left hand, visibly rocking the Russian. Sensing his opponent was hurt, Lee immediately jumped on Nastyukhin and rained down a barrage of punches to the head until the referee stopped the bout.

In the co-main event, ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion and #2-ranked atomweight Muay Thai contender Janet “JT” Todd scored an emphatic finish over #3-ranked contender Anne “Ninja” Line Hogstad in the third round of their ONE Super Series Muay Thai contest.

Todd came out firing in the opening frame, operating at a furious pace while making use of her speed advantage. As the bout wore on, she grew more comfortable mixing up her strikes. Hogstad tried to use her height and length, but Todd was able to read her opponent well. In the final round, Todd folded Hogstad with a crushing body kick to the liver, which forced the referee to halt the contest.

“ONE on TNT III” airs on Wednesday, April 21 (Thursday, April 22 in Asia). In the main event, No. 1-ranked bantamweight contender John “Hands of Stone” Lineker faces Troy “Pretty Boy” Worthen.
