Fabricio Andrade suggests its near-impossible to stop Demetrious Johnson’s ‘very complete’ arsenal

At ONE Fight Night 16, Fabricio Andrade will return to the circle to try and make 2023 a year for the history books.

On November 3, the bantamweight MMA world champion will look to test himself by jumping out of his comfort zone and straight into a firefight with one of the best in the world.

When the Brazilian steps back inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, he will be standing across from the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Jonathan Haggerty.

The two champions will compete for the vacant kickboxing belt in their weight class in a fight that has huge stakes for both parties.

As he prepares to put his striking skills to the test against ‘The General’, Fabricio Andrade spoke about his admiration for another world champion that competes in the weight class below.

During an interview with The MMA Superfan, ‘Wonder Boy’ praised the overall skills and capability to compete with the style that Demetrious Johnson brings to the table.

The 15-time divisional king and reigning ONE flyweight MMA world champion is one of the athlete to ever compete in mixed martial arts.

With just one weight class separating the two men, a super fight between Farbricio Andrade and ‘Mighty Mouse’ might not be off the table under the ONE Championship banner.

That being said, Fabricio Andrade told The MMA Superfan about how difficult it would be to face a competitor like Johnson who is so strong in event facet of MMA.

“He's fast, he's got a lot of good feints, he's got a good striking game. He's very complete and he can do anything in a fight. So it's very hard for anybody to try to defend against that.”
