Adrian Lee, the younger brother of ONE Championship stars Angela, Christian and Victoria Lee, is already following in his siblings’ footsteps.
The 16-year-old took a big step toward joining his older brother and sisters on the ONE roster over the weekend, scoring two knockout wins in a single night to win a junior kick-boxing title in the family’s home state of Hawaii.
His impressive performance on the night earned praise from all three of his older siblings.
“If you didn’t know, there’s four Lees,” his eldest sister Angela wrote on Instagram. “[Adrian] took home the belt in his first kick-boxing event. Two fights and two knockouts in one night! I’m so freaking proud!”
“Tonight my little bro fought two times against two opponents to win the Man Up Stand Up junior kick-boxing title,” Adrian’s older brother Christian wrote in his own Instagram post. “I couldn’t be more proud of how hard he worked for this and how amazing he did in the ring today. The future is so bright for you champ!”
Adrian’s older sister Victoria, a 17-year-old prodigy who recently debuted in MMA under the ONE banner, also celebrated Adrian’s “amazing performance” on Instagram.
While Adrian is yet to compete in MMA, precedent suggests he will transition into the sport soon, and that he will be good at it.
The 25-year-old Angela (11-2), the oldest of the Lee siblings, made her MMA debut in 2015, and was the ONE atomweight champion four years later, at 19 years old.
She has held the belt ever since, most recently defending it with a second-round submission win over Thailand’s Stamp Fairtex – made all the more impressive by the fact that she was returning from a two-year hiatus and the birth of her first child.

The 33-year-old Christian (15-4), the second-oldest Lee sibling, debuted soon after Angela. After a stint in the featherweight division, he captured the promotion’s lightweight title with a stoppage win over Shinya Aoki.
He lost his title in his last fight, a razor-close decision loss to South Korea’s Ok Rae-yoon, but all signs point to a rematch between the pair soon.
Victoria (3-0) made her MMA debut most recently, defeating Sunisa Srisen by second-round submission in February 2021. She has won twice since then, defeating Luping Wang by first-round submission in July 2021, and Victoria Souza by second-round TKO in September of the same year.
