As is often the case with ONE Championship double-headers, it’s the second card that’s worth sticking around for. On Friday (Saturday local time in Thailand), ONE Fight Night 26 went down, with Christian Lee headlining the card.
Lee, a double-champ who holds gold at lightweight and welterweight for the company, has been out of action since November of 2022. That’s due in part due to the tragic death of younger sister Victoria Lee, a fellow ONE Championship fighter who took her own life in late December 2022.
Sister Angela Lee, once one of ONE Championship’s biggest stars, officially retired last year, opting not to carry on in the MMA business following the loss of her sister. Nearly two years later, however, brother Christian returns, looking to defend his lightweight title against Alibeg Rasulov.
Rasulov earned his shot at gold earlier this year, defeating former champ Ok Rae Yoon in July.
Lee versus Rasulov is one of two title fights on the ONE Fight Night 26 card, as Mayssa Bastos vs. Danielle Kelly will see the winner come away with the ONE atomweight submission grappling championship.
