Lee made his professional debut against Chung Woo Chee in June 2009, winning the fight by decision. He went on to amass a 7-2 record, including a notable victory over Genji Umeno. On the back of these wins, Lee was given a chance to fight Samuel Hadzima at Simply The Best 6 for the WKN Intercontinental Lightweight title.[1] He beat Hadzima by decision.[2]

After this title win, Lee would go on to win five of his next eight fights, before signing with RISE in 2017. For his promotional debut, Lee fought Yuki at RISE 118. He won the fight by a second-round knockout.[3] In his next fight, Lee challenged Koudai Nobe for the RISE Super Featherweight title. He beat Nobe by unanimous decision.[4] Lee's winning streak was snapped at RISE 122, as he lost a decision to Hideki.[5]

Lee was scheduled to fight Hikaru Machida at RISE 125. He won by unanimous decision.[6] Lee extended his winning streak with stoppage wins of Hikaru Machida[7] and Yosuke Morii.[8] He then fought a rematch with Yuki at Rise World Series 2019, and won the rematch by unanimous decision.[9]

At the KNOCK OUT 2019 SPRING event, Lee fought Yodlekpet Or. Pitisak for the KNOCK OUT 135 lbs title. Yodlekpet won the fight by unanimous decision.[10] Lee then fought Genji Umeno, for the third time in his career, in the semifinal bout of the 2019 RISE World Series. Umeno won the fight by decision.[11] After losing to Kento Haraguchi in September 2019, Lee fought Suakim PK Saenchaimuaythaigym in December 2019, for the Battle of Muay Thai Super Lightweight title. Suakim won the fight by a third-round TKO.[12]

Lee faced the interim RISE super featherweight champion Kazuma in his first title defense at RISE 160 on July 29, 2022, following a three-year absence from competition.[13] He won the fight by a fourth-round technical knockout.
