“His wrestling game will make the difference” - Adriano Moraes sees Kiamrian Abbasov besting Christian Lee

Adriano Moraes is confident that 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov will defeat 'The Warrior' Christian Lee when they face off at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18.

The top-ranked flyweight fighter from Brazil spoke with ONE Championship to discuss this headlining showdown. Former ONE flyweight world champion Moraes explained:

“Abbasov by unanimous decision. It is his division, and he is really tough. I think his wrestling game will make the difference in this fight.”

The reigning ONE lightweight world champion Christian Lee will be going up in weight to challenge top-ranked welterweight Kiamrian Abbasov. They will compete in the main event of ONE on Prime Video 4. This historic clash can be enjoyed live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Adriano Moraes, meanwhile, is just coming off a loss to all-time MMA great 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson. The two fought for the flyweight throne earlier this year on ONE on Prime Video.

Christian Lee discusses going up in weight

At just 24, the Singaporean-American Lee will look to reach his dreams and become a world champion in two weight divisions. 'The Warrior' will be going up in weight to fight for the welterweight crown.

Lee discussed putting on some weight in an interview with ONE Championship. He explained:

“Going into this fight, I feel that my cardio is better than it’s ever been. I truly feel like I’m in the best shape that I’ve been in so far. I think it’s easy to make the mistake when you’re moving up a weight division, to just simply put on the size, to put on the extra weight, and then to neglect the cardio."

It is a challenging prospect to balance adding muscle while maintaining speed and cardio. However, Lee thinks he's got the balance right:

“I took some time to put on extra weight so that when I did step up the training, and when I did start doing my cardio, I would be able to be in the same shape I was fighting for the lightweight title as I’m going to be for the welterweight title.”

The dangerous Russian 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov will be looking to stop him. However, headlining ONE on Prime Video 4, Christian Lee will look to accomplish his dreams and capture the welterweight throne.
