The Singaporean-American star is fired up for his rematch against the ONE Lightweight World Champion for obvious reasons. And he promises to leave no stone unturned in their main event showdown at ONE 160: Ok vs. Lee II inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
“I believe that I’m going to win this fight. If it is a close decision, I can see how they can set up a trilogy fight. But if the fight goes how I plan on it going, I’m going to take him out quick and finish him – then there’s going to be no need for a rematch,” Lee asserted.

Lee seemed to have dominated most of the exchanges in the 25-minute contest, but none of the judges at Circle-side thought he had done enough to retain the belt.

Christian Lee believes he won the first fight as well

“If you look at ONE Championship’s scoring criteria, I won in every area if we go on near finish, and you go on the damage done. I broke his orbital in the first round, I dropped him big in the third round, and I came close to getting two submissions. That really speaks for itself,” Lee said.
“The only credit I do give him is being able to last all five rounds and having the cardio to keep a good pace throughout all five rounds. So, in my opinion, I still won the fight, but I’m definitely not going to go into the [rematch] with the same game plan.”
