The 23-year-old from Hawaii dropped a close but controversial unanimous decision to the South Korean at ONE: Revolution last September. However, given ONE Championship’s scoring criteria, Lee’s body of work across 25 minutes of action should have been enough to earn him the nod.
The biggest scoring category in ONE is the near-finish. In a recent interview with the promotion, Christian Lee said he came close to finishing Ok on three separate occasions.
The first instance, Lee explained, was a rear-naked choke in the second round. After taking Ok’s back, Lee quickly secured the hold, and the arm appeared under the neck. But Ok was able to shake him off. The second instance, Lee connected with a right hand in the third round, dropping Ok and hurting him. Lee praised Ok’s tough chin for being able to survive. Lastly, Lee nearly completed a D’Arce choke late in the fight.
