Undefeated Turkish challenger Alibeg Rasulov has boldly declared his intention to finish reigning ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion Christian Lee via submission while capturing the US$50,000 performance bonus when the pair clash in their highly anticipated rematch at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri on Sunday, November 16, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
The 32-year-old Dagestani wrestling specialist expressed confidence in his grappling prowess against the two-division champion, vowing to bring the lightweight gold back to his homeland.
Their first encounter ended controversially in December 2024 due to an accidental eye poke, leaving unfinished business between two elite lightweights who seek a definitive resolution.
