Reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight MMA world champion 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade of Brazil is making his dreams come true in ONE Championship.
Since winning the gold in the world's largest martial arts organization, Andrade has come to great prominence, and has achieved some pretty big personal milestones -- including achieving his lifelong dream of buying his father a house.
After buying his mom her own home a couple of years ago, it was his dad's turn.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Andrade talked about what he did last year.

'Wonder Boy' said:
"After my last fight I had a trip planned to go to Brazil to record a documentary for Globo. So I went to Fortaleza to spend some time with my family and recorded the documentary, which was really cool. After that I went to take care of some injuries and two or three weeks later I was already doing physiotherapy and muscle strengthening."
Andrade added:
"But a lot happened during that time when I was not fighting. I made this documentary and then I built a house for my father. My father was living alone in Fortaleza, so I went with him to his hometown, Marco Ceará, bought a piece of land and built a house for him there, close to his family. Since it's his hometown, he has a lot of family there, so I thought it would be better for him to be closer to his family. It was something I've wanted to do for a while, and I took advantage of this moment to build this house for him."
