Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion ‘The Warrior’ Christian Lee of Singapore and the United States feels he was on his way to winning the first fight with undefeated Turkish sensation Alibeg Rasulov, before an accidental eye poke halted the match abruptly.Lee first met Rasulov in December 2024 at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video. That fight was highly competitive, until Lee inadvertently poked Rasulov in the eye and the Turkish fighter could no longer continue.The result was a no-contest. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSpeaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Lee shared that he feels he was gaining momentum before the unceremonious ending, and that he would have beaten Rasulov had the match continued:“I think that him being more competitive didn’t change the fact that I was dominating the fight, and the way that we felt in there, I felt that the momentum was shifting. That’s why I was upset about the ending.”Needless to say, Lee will be looking to leave no doubt when the two finally meet in a rematch next weekend, nearly a year after their initial showdown.Christian Lee and Alibeg Rasulov to settle matters at ONE 173 in Tokyo‘The Warrior’ Christian Lee will once again put his ONE lightweight MMA world title on the line when he meets unbeaten Alibeg Rasulov at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, which will go down live on Sunday, Nov. 16, from Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.The 27-year-old two-division world champion is confident he can get the job done this time and leave no doubt with a clear-cut result.Tickets for ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri are available here.
