Headlining ONE on Prime Video 4, 'The Warrior' Christian Lee will look to become a two-division world champion when he faces 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov. MMA star Sage Northcutt offered his prediction for this main event fight.

Speaking in an interview with ONE Championship, Northcutt struggled to choose between Lee and Abbasov:

“I think it’s a toss-up and can go either way. Speed could be the advantage for Christian Lee, but Abbsaov is tough and likes to walk forward, so it’ll be a good fight!”

Northcutt may struggle to choose between 'The Warrior' and 'Brazen' but admits that it should be a great fight. The battle will be the headlining bout at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18. This historic clash can be enjoyed live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Christian Lee has defeated most of the top-five athletes in the division over the past couple of years. 'The Warrior' avenged a loss and reclaimed his crown earlier this year when he earned a knockout win against Ok Rae Yoon.


Kiamrian Abbasov threatens Christian Lee

Facing 'The Warrior' at ONE on Prime Video 4 is the dangerous top-ranked Russian welterweight Kiamrian Abbasov. 'Brazen' spoke with ONE in an interview and said that Lee really should stay at lightweight:

“I will whisper to his ear during the fight: ‘Stay in your lightweight division.’”

The Russian fighter added that once they are in the circle, no one can save Lee. He added:

“A lot of things will go off plan for him. Naturally, he will complain to his dad or coach: ‘Coach, big problem. Kiamrian Abbasov is a big problem. Please, stop the fight. Stop the fight.’ When the cage is closed, neither media nor his family will help him. It will be only I and he with all his big problems because of his desire to move up to my division.”

Fans can enjoy this historic clash on November 18 in the main event for ONE on Prime Video 4.
