ONE Championship: Adrian Lee keen to continue family legacy – I want to be ‘greatest ever'
Adrian Lee said he is determined to carve out his own legacy in mixed martial arts after another dominant display at ONE 172 on Sunday. Advertisement Lee, who hails from a rich tradition of fighters in his family, extended his unbeaten streak with a stunning submission win over Takeharu Ogawa in Japan's Saitama Super Arena. 'My goal in this sport is to be the greatest ever,' he told the Post. 'I've got really high aspirations. I plan on taking multiple belts and seeing where that takes me.' 'The Phenom' forced the tap out via an anaconda choke early in the first round and picked up a US$50,000 bonus. 'Even right now, it's still so surreal,' he said. 'I came in there prepared for a war and was ready to go all three rounds if I had to. But I'm glad I finished as fast as I did.' With another finish on his record, Lee's stock continues to rise, but he credits his rapid development to training alongside his brother, Christian, the ONE lightweight and welterweight champion.

Zakaria El Jamari Suffers First-Round Knockout Defeat at ONE 172: Takeru vs Rodtang in Japan
Casablanca – Morocco's Zakaria El Jamari fell to a disappointing first-round knockout defeat on his kickboxing debut in ONE Championship during the martial arts organization's huge show ONE 172: Takeru vs Rodtang in Japan. The flyweight kickboxing bout was the second on a blockbuster card which witnessed four world title bouts and a long-awaited flyweight kickboxing super-fight between iconic striking duo Takeru Segawa and Rodtang Jitmuangnon at Saitama Super Arena. El Jamari started the fight well, launching kicks to Japanese counterpart Hyu Iwata's midsection. While the 35-year-old Moroccan showed composure in his defense, his undefeated opponent kept pushing forward, attempting to corner the Moroccan. Hyu finally managed to get the Moroccan to back up into the corner, throwing two quick jabs with his right hand, creating an opening for a vicious left knee to El Jamari's head, causing the latter to collapse. With El Jamari unable to continue, the referee called an end to the matchup at 2:12 of the first round awarding the young Japanese star a memorable win via knockout. The loss is El Jamari's third straight knockout defeat in ONE Championship after suffering the same outcome against Thailand's Aliff Sor Dechapan and Colombia's Johan Estupinan. The three-time Arab Muay Thai champion last won against Thai fan favorite Thongpoon PK Saenchai via unanimous decision in May 2024 after an action-packed bout. Meanwhile, 23-year-old Hyu displayed his big talents once again as he raised his clean kickboxing overall record to 11-0 with his third straight win from three ONE Championship bouts.

ONE Championship: Rodtang stuns Takeru with sensational first-round knockout at ONE 172
Rodtang Jitmuangnon scored a stunning first-round knockout against Takeru Segawa at ONE 172 on Sunday, ending the highly anticipated clash in just one minute, 20 seconds. Advertisement In the build up to the fight, Japanese kickboxing star Takeru said beating 'The Iron Man' at the Saitama Super Arena in his homeland would mean he had 'achieved everything' in his career but the fight did not go as he had planned. Rodtang, meanwhile, reacted to heavy criticism for missing weight in his last fight by enlisting the help of renowned combat sports nutritionist Peter Miller for his bout with Takeru – and the results were stark. After planting a right low kick, Rodtang unleashed a savage left hook-straight combo, then repeated the trick before firing another monster left hook that connected with Takeru's chin. 'The Natural Born Crusher' was sent tumbling to the canvas, unable to beat the count. Rodtang Jitmuangnon (left) consoles opponent Takeru Segawa after their fight.

'It told me I had to work harder, wake up in the morning, train hard, and do everything I could to get my belt back.
