ONE Championship: Ok Rae-yoon says Christian Lee ‘should admit I’m the champ … it’s not beautiful what he’s doing’
- New lightweight king insists Lee should ‘not go to the board trying to flip the decision’
- ‘There’s some unhappy feelings because of this controversy, but I feel the decision is right,’ Ok says after shock Singapore win
Ok Rae-yoon has admitted he is unhappy about Christian Lee’s demands for a review into their ONE Championship lightweight title bout.
The South Korean “Legend Killer” (16-3) claimed the belt from “The Warrior” (15-4) via unanimous decision in the main event of Friday night’s Revolution card in Singapore, after a controversial call from the judges.
“I landed more clean shots and gave out more damage, that’s why my hand was raised,” Ok told reporters on a virtual media scrum after the fight.
“So I really don’t get why there’s controversy regarding the decision, because I think I clearly won the fight. If Christian wants a rematch, we can do it right away.
“I want to clear one thing up. I’ve seen some comments saying people thought I was surprised with the decision. My corner knew I won, they were telling me I won. I knew I clearly won. It was just I still couldn’t see out of my left eye.
