Christian Lee Knocks Alibeg Rasulov Out Cold with Multiple Knees to the Head – ONE 173 Highlights
Christian Lee reminded everyone why he is still ONE Championship’s most prolific finisher at ONE 173.
Nearly a year removed from their frustrating no-contest at ONE Fight Night 26, Lee stepped back inside the Circle, putting his ONE lightweight MMA world championship on the line against Turkish standout Alibeg Rasulov.
Closing in on the halfway point of the second round, Lee unleashed a body kick that caught Rasulov clean near the fence. Feeling the effects, Rasulov shot in for a desperation takedown, only to find himself locked up in an anaconda choke. With Lee tightening his grip, the defending champ then delivered a series of brutal knees to Rasulov’s head that inevitably put the challenger to sleep.
Official Result: Christian Lee def. Alibeg Rasulov via KO (knees to the head) at 2:32 of Round 2 to retain the ONE lightweight MMA world championship.
