Christian Lee, the two-division ONE champion, told Dan Kuhl of Combat Press he plans to beat Tye Ruotolo down for five rounds, though he could see it ending in the first. "Man, I'm going to destroy this guy," Lee said.
Lee said he believes Ruotolo's striking looks better than it is because opponents worry about the takedown early. "He doesn't have that depth in the striking that you can only really gain through experience," he said. He plans to stay outside and make Ruotolo chase.
The fight carries a family grudge: Ruotolo submitted Lee's younger brother Adrian last year. Lee also said of Ruotolo's twin Kade, who fights Ok Rae Yoon at ONE Fight Night 50 on Dec. 18, "I'm excited to take them both out." Lee and Ruotolo meet for the lightweight title on Nov. 6 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
