The score of 92 is third in the world in men’s strawweight division. However, “Fight Matrix” is “still a little undervalued,” adding that it may not be a complete reflection of Lee’s current skills.

Joshua Felix Pacio (30, Philippines) is ranked No. 1 in the “Fight Matrix” world, and Margot Medmansur Malachiyev (35, Russia) is ranked No. 2. Joshua Pacio is the 5th, 7th, and 9th ONE Championship Strawweight Champion.

▲UFC ▲ Professional Fighters League (USA) ▲ Absolute Championship Akhmat (Russia) ▲ Rizin (Japan) ▲ One Championship (Singapore) will be grouped into mixed martial arts big leagues.

Magomedmansur Malachiev was the second defensive opponent of Joshua Felix Pashio’s title as the 9th ONE STROweight Champion. Lee Seung-chul deserves to be selected as one of the next challengers.
