Adrian Lee, the younger brother of late ONE Championship fighter Victoria Lee, added some more titles to his burgeoning resume after returning to wrestling competition.

A four-time national champion and six-time world champion at youth level MMA, “The Phenom” also won an amateur title in December, just days before Victoria’s death at 18 years old in Hawaii.

After winning the Western Divisional Championships at Pearl City High School in Honolulu earlier this month, 17-year-old Adrian also took first place at the weekend in the boys’ 160-pound division for his Mililani High School’s Trojans wrestling team at the Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) Championships.

His run to the OIA title also included an incredible leg sweep that he shared a clip of on his Instagram account – one which drew high praise from his elder sister, Angela Lee.

“The coolest move I ever saw,” said ONE’s atomweight MMA champion, who had filmed the clip at Leilehua High school.

“God damn. That was kinda nasty,” she could be overheard saying on the video.
