Christian Lee Defends ONE Title Against Ruotolo

Christian Lee defends his ONE Championship lightweight title against grappling specialist Tye Ruotolo on Nov. 6 at Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand.

ONE officials confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Monday. The bout tops ONE The Inner Circle 37, with the rest of the card still taking shape.

Ruotolo Steps Up for First Title Shot

Lee stopped Alibeg Rasulov last November to retain the belt. The champion has captured titles across multiple weight classes during his tenure with the Singapore-based promotion.

Ruotolo carries a 2-0 record into the title fight, both wins coming under the ONE banner. The 23-year-old made his name alongside twin brother Kade on the grappling circuit before transitioning to mixed martial arts.

The full ONE The Inner Circle 37 lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
