Adrian Lee has high praise for Nabil Anane: "He had some outstanding performances"

Lightweight mixed martial arts star ‘The Phenom’ Adrian Lee of Singapore and the United States is a huge fan of undisputed ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nabil Anane and says he is one of the most exciting fighters in ONE Championship today.

The 19-year-old highlighted the Thai-Algerian sensation's remarkable rise through the striking ranks as particularly noteworthy.

Lee specifically referenced Anane's shocking first-round knockout victory over Scottish destroyer ‘King of the North’ Nico Carrillo at ONE 170 earlier this year as a standout performance that caught his attention.

When asked about the most exciting fighter in ONE, Lee told South China Morning Post:

"Well, my first answer would be Christian, but you know, there's a bunch of exciting fighters. One of them [would be] Nabil Anane. He had some outstanding performances, and I was definitely shocked after his win off of Nico, and then his fight was Superlek."

Check out the full interview below:

The six-foot-four-inch-tall Anane has been on an absolute tear since joining the world’s largest martial arts organization, wrecking every opponent put in front of him.

Meanwhile, Lee has experienced a similar trajectory, going a perfect 3-0 in the promotion with all three wins coming by way of finish.
