Nicholas Cornejo looks to spoil Adrian Lee’s hype
Standing in Adrian Lee’s path at ONE 168: Denver is Nicholas Cornejo, a blue-chip prospect who has been making waves in the state of Colorado’s well-entrenched MMA scene.
Like Lee, “The Steel City Kid” also enjoyed a stellar run in the amateur circuit, racking up five consecutive before turning pro last year.
Since then, Cornejo has been on a tear. Despite being known for his wrestling background, his growing proficiency in the standup department has been highlighted in his first two professional outings.
In fact, he won those two matches by way of knockout.
These performances garnered him the attention of ONE Championship.
For Cornejo, a victory over Lee could propel Cornejo into the spotlight, positioning him as a rising star on the global stage.
