picked up his second victory in two professional fights at last Friday and furthe🎃r solidified his status as the m💜ost exciting rising star in MMA.
This time, the 18-year-๊old Hawaii native dominated en route to a first-round submission victory at Ball Arena𒆙 in Colorado.
Now 2-0 in the world’s largest martial arts organization with two quick finishes, Lee is proud of his performance, which earned him a well-deserved UꦦS$50,000 bonus.
While he was equally domin💫ant in his debut in June at , “The Phenom” says that he felt much better this time around.
He told :
“I’m so happy with how this fight went. It couldn’t have gone any better. We got that first-round finish, and after having that first fight, getting all the first-fight jitters out, coming int♒o this fight, I was a lot more comfortable.”
Indeed, Lee looked far more exꦑperienced than a teenager who is still in the early stages of hꦍis career.
As the younger brother to reigning two-division O🍬NE MMA World Champion and former ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Champion , he has a lifetime of elite mixed ౠmartial arts training under his belt.
Against Cornejo, Lee followed the strategy laid out by his older siblings – dominate every aspect of the 🍰fight and secure the finish as soon as possible:
“The plan was to be compꩵosed and to execute our game plan. Get in there, strik♌e with him, then take him down and ultimately submit him or TKO him.”
Le🥂e knows that, given his family background, the MMA world has incredibly high expectations for him.
Still, he admits that becomin🥃g a globally recognized ONE superstar a൲t just 18 years old is special:
“It’s truly amazing. It still seem💝s surreal, looking back when I was younger, that I got to the point that I🅰 am right now.”
