Stamp Fairtex’s massive achievement of conquering three professional combat sports disciplines has inspired some of the best in the world to shoot for the same heights.

Among those enamored by the Thai megastar’s grand feat is Fabricio Andrade, who believes he can also replicate the ONE atomweight MMA world champion’s success.

Andrade, who lords over the ONE bantamweight MMA ranks, can add a second gold strap to his collection in the main event of ONE Fight Night 16 on November 3. ‘Wonder Boy’ will be trading heavy artillery with fellow champion Jonathan Haggerty for the chance to claim the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing throne.

If he completes the task at hand, the Brazilian said he’ll even gun for ‘The General’s' ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title and achieve three-sport supremacy like Stamp.

Fabricio Andrade shared in an interview on FightWave’s YouTube channel:

“We’ve seen Stamp doing it in the opposite way, going from striker to MMA, but we have never seen an MMA champion going to try and see himself in kickboxing or Muay Thai."

If there’s a fighter who can disrupt ONE’s incredibly stacked 145-pound striking ranks, it’s certainly Andrade.

Before shifting his full attention to mixed martial arts, the Brazilian phenom amassed an impressive 40-3 record in the kickboxing circuit. ONE fans have witnessed the devastating power of Andrade’s strikes, particularly his signature crushing knees to the body.

Even a notoriously durable fighter like John Lineker could not absorb the power of those precise hits.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Haggerty is a pure striker and should give Andrade one of the hardest fights of his distinguished career.

We all can’t wait to witness how this all unfolds at ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade on Prime Video, live in US primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.

This full event is free for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
