Christian Lee (Chinese: 李胜龙, Korean: 이승용, born June 21, 1998) is a Canadian-born American mixed martial artist who competes in the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions of ONE Championship.[3] He is the current and two-time ONE Lightweight World Champion, as well as the current ONE Welterweight World Champion. Currently holding both belts simultaneously, Lee is the fourth two-division champion in ONE history and holds the promotion's records for most wins (17), most finishes (16), and most knockouts (12). He was also the winner of the 2019 ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix.[citation needed]

On May 17, 2019, Lee defeated Shinya Aoki to win the ONE Lightweight World Championship for the first time. With his older sister Angela already holding the ONE Atomweight World Championship, they became the first brother-sister pair of mixed martial arts world champions.[4][5][6] Their younger sister Victoria was also a mixed martial artist.
