Brazilian brawler Fabricio Andrade is hungry for more action following his explosive start to 2025.
'Wonder Boy' enjoyed a perfect return to martial arts' grandest stage at ONE 170 inside the Impact Arena in January with the fastest highlight-reel finish of his career and the first successful defense of his ONE bantamweight MMA world championship.
He needed just 42 seconds to dismantle 'Pretty Boy' Kwon Won Il, and after such a dominant performance – one that earned him a US$50,000 performance bonus – the Fortaleza native is already eyeing multiple appearances in the Circle before the year concludes.

Though he's still happy with the sub-minute demolition of Kwon, 'Wonder Boy' was eager to showcase his upgrades after being out of the game for an extended time.
"I was happy with the win. I can't be sad with that early knockout. But yeah, I wanted to fight longer. I wanted to show what I've been working on over the past year."
