He shared his prediction in an exclusive interview with SCMP MMA ahead of the pair’s special rules contest at the promotion’s largest-ever spectacle on Saturday, March 26, in Singapore.
‘The Warrior’ highlighted the Kentucky native’s experience, skillset and intelligence as the three tools that could help him escape Rodtang’s brutal Muay Thai arsenal in the first canto.

Christian Lee could potentially catch their action first-hand in front of a capacity crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, as his sister, Angela, will battle it out against Stamp Fairtex in the main event. ‘Unstoppable’ puts her golden strap on the line against the Thai who booked her slot as the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix Champion.
The United MMA and Evolve MMA representative has cornered his sister throughout her career. Come March 26, perhaps one of the most dangerous sibling pairs in martial arts could join forces, and produce yet another emphatic performance in ‘The Lion City’.
