Christian Lee proved he has the heart of a champion. In the main event of ONE on Prime Video 4 at Singapore Indoor Stadium, Lee (17-4 MMA, 17-4 ONE) had the opportunity to become a two-division champion, and nearly came up short against now-former welterweight champ Kiamrian Abbasov.

Lee was able to get a takedown to slow things down, but a few moments after the fight returned to the feet, Abbasov cracked Lee with a hard left hand, sending him crashing to the ground.
