That added online visibility has helped him garner interest for his highly anticipated showdown against ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion Tye Ruotolo at ONE Fight Night 35 on Prime Video on Friday, Sept. 5, live in U.S. primetime.

Speaking to ONE Championship ahead of the three-round lightweight MMA clash from Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium, Lee revealed how his YouTube content has opened new opportunities beyond fighting, including lucrative sponsorship deals:

"That's another thing I've been really loving about all the content creation I've been doing. The 'ice bath' was kind of like a collaboration. They sent it out to me for videos. But I've been landing more and more sponsorship deals, so I've been super grateful for that. I really do feel like my work has been paying off."
