Lee and Rasulov fought to a no-contest last December, after an accidental eye poke forced a premature halt to the contest. Now, the two are ready to run it back in a highly anticipated do-over.

They lock horns at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, which will go down live on Sunday, Nov. 16, from Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, with the ONE lightweight MMA world title on the line.

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Lee talked about forcing the action against Rasulov until the Turkish fighter can’t handle it anymore.

‘The Warrior’ said:

“I think he’s going to come out prepared. I think he’s going to come out ready to fight. But, at the end of the night, I don’t think he’s going to know what happened. I think that it’s going to be too much for him, and I’m going to get the job done.”
