Adrian Lee shows respect for Regian Eersel's skills: "He's a very accomplished and skilled fighter"

Singaporean-American mixed martial arts prodigy ‘The Phenom’ Adrian Lee has become a massive supporter of reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight Muay Thai world champion ‘The Immortal’ Regian Eersel of the Netherlands.

The 19-year-old Hawaii resident has expressed admiration for Eersel’s technical abilities.

Lee believes the Surinamese-Dutch fighter’s impressive skill set and incredible achievements in ONE Championship are exemplary, and should serve as an inspiration to all fighters across all disciplines in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Speaking to SCMP MMA in a recent interview, Lee shared his honest assessment of Eersel's abilities.

‘The Phenom’ said:

"Yeah, Regian, he's a very accomplished and skilled fighter as well, and I'm excited to see his next fight."

Much like Eersel, Lee has shown an ability to finish his opponents with his technical prowess and undeniable fighting skills. And he will soon get that chance when he returns to action next week against a very formidable opponent.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see Adrian Lee back in the ONE Championship ring.
