ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga will mark the professional debut of the next great Lee. After signing in December, 18-year-old Adrian Lee will step inside the Circle for his first bout in ONE Championship on June 7. He will try to make a splash in the lightweight division, where his brother, Christian, holds the gold.

As first reported by MMAFighting.com, Lee will take on Antonio Mammarella. The Australian athlete made his pro debut last December with a TKO victory. The bout against Lee marks a golden opportunity for him to leapfrog into the mix in only his second pro contest.

Lee has gotten to watch all of his siblings make waves in ONE throughout the years, including Christian and Angela, achieving the most incredible heights with ONE World Championships. He will try to follow the path they paved with a standout debut showing.

Although Lee is making his professional debut, he has plenty of experience domestically and internationally. Lee has captured the Hawaii State Wrestling Championship and won multiple pankration World Titles internationally. Whether by pin, submission, or TKO, Lee is a consummate finisher, just like his siblings.

But arriving on the global stage will be a new test for the Hawaii standout. His last name carries a lot of weight, but he has the potential to be the best Lee yet. If he reaches that potential, Adrian could carve out a legacy all of his own, starting with ONE 167.

ONE 167 airs live on Prime Video from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The action gets underway at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime subscribers based in the U.S. and Canada.
