During a recent interview with Andrew Whitelaw of Asian MMA, ‘Wonder Boy’ was asked who else brings excitement to their matches in ONE and his favorite fighters to watch in the promotion.

The upcoming bantamweight world title challenger said:

“There are a lot of exciting fighters. 'Mighty Mouse' [Demetrious Johnson] is really exciting you know. Anatoly [Malykhin], he is a wrestler that's knocking people out and he is very exciting. And we got so many with different styles, we are going to make it boxing also. I was a former kickboxer so there are a lot of guys that I used to watch, a lot. So like, [Giorgio] Petrosyan, Marat [Grigorian]; all those guys. I'm always very excited about those fights.”

ONE Championship’s mixed-rules bout between Demetrious Johnson and Rodtang Jitmuangnon has opened the door for limitless fantasy matchups. Maybe one day, Andrade will compete in kickboxing or Muay Thai under the ONE banner.

Before any crossover fights, though, ‘Wonder Boy’ has business to take care of in the form of John Lineker.

Fabricio Andrade believes that John Lineker was 'ducking' him before their title fight materialized. ‘Wonder Boy’ has gone as far as calling ‘Hands of Stone’ a "chicken."

During Andrade’s birthday on October 10, ONE heavyweight Anatoly Malaykhin gifted him a hilarious shirt and posted the moment on Instagram with the caption:

“Happy birthday @fabricioandrade1 we wish your rivals to always get to the fight"

There has been plenty of trash talk, but the time for Fabricio Andrade to fight for the bantamweight title is approaching. On October 21 at ONE on Prime Video 3, ‘Wonder Boy’ has an opportunity to dethrone Lineker and emerge as the newest superstar in ONE.
