Christian Lee is once again a champion, taking back the ONE lightweight title.
Lee bested Ok Rae Yoon in the main event of ONE Championship 160 Friday.
Lee closed the distance early and circled his rival with constant pressure. It was an offensive assault for the Singaporean-American in the first round, as he hurt Ok on multiple occasions with a plethora of jabs, knees, and low kicks. From that point, it was one-way traffic, and Lee maintained his attack well into the second frame.
The co-main event saw Tang Kai become the first-ever male Chinese MMA champion, topping Thanh Le for the featherweight title.
Tang, the top-ranked featherweight, employed a brilliant strategy, as he chopped away at Le’s legs to hamper the taekwondo specialist’s movement. Le threw heavy leather in return, but it did little to break Tang’s confidence.
