He was then given a second crack in the tournament in August, thanks to a slew of injuries to other fighters in the bracket. In this shot at redemption, he defeated former champ Eduard Folayang by submission to earn a spot in the finals opposite Dagi. Unfortunately, he won&#8217;t be competing as planned.<\/p>\n<p>Dagi, on the other hand, looks like a juggernaut. He&#8217;s 8-1 overall, with his eight most recent fights occurring in ONE. His lone loss came via disqualification due to illegal stomps. He&#8217;s advanced through the tournament with first round knockouts of Ev Ting and Amir Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Lee, finally, won the title in May, when he defeated MMA legend Shinya Aoki by TKO.<\/p>\n<p>To clarify, Lee&#8217;s belt will not be on the line in this fight. He and Dagi will only be competing for the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix belt.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When &quot;Dagi&quot; and Christian Lee fight at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ONECentury?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ONECentury<\/a>, Lee&#39;s lightweight belt will NOT be on the line.
