Christian Lee defends ONE lightweight title against Tye Ruotolo at ONE The Inner Circle 37

Christian Lee will defend his ONE lightweight title against grappling specialist Tye Ruotolo at ONE The Inner Circle 37 on November 6 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Lee, a longtime ONE Championship veteran who has conquered multiple divisions throughout his career, last successfully defended his lightweight crown with a TKO victory over Alibeg Rasulov last November. Ruotolo, 23, represents a significant step up in competition after dominating the submission grappling circuit alongside his brother Kade before transitioning to mixed martial arts. The fighter has made a successful start to his MMA career, posting a 2-0 record with both wins coming under the ONE Championship banner. The full card for The Inner Circle 37 will be announced at a later date.
