Fabricio Andrade has revealed the two countries he wants to fight in.
‘Wonder Boy’ has a bright future ahead of him. At 25, the Brazilian bantamweight contender showed his world championship mettle against John Lineker in the ONE on Prime Video 3 main event, which ended in a no contest.
Although Andrade didn’t walk away as the champion, his value skyrocketed after causing severe damage to Lineker. Up until the fight was called off due to Andrade's illegal groin shot, the Brazilian was comfortably winning on the scorecards.

During an interview with The MMA Super-Fan, Andrade had this to say about the countries he wants to fight in:
“It was nice [fighting in Malaysia]. It’s very close to Phuket. Many people visit Malaysia all the time... I want to fight in Japan. I would love to fight in the Philippines as well, but Japan has been kind of like a goal for me to fight in... because of all the history.”
After his recent championship bid against 'Hands of Stone', ‘Wonder Boy’ is focused on winning the ONE bantamweight world title and establishing himself as a superstar.

Fabricio Andrade believes the John Lineker rematch "makes sense"
Given how their first bout ended, Fabricio Andrade vs. John Lineker 2 would usually be the clear next option for deciding the ONE bantamweight champion. That said, Lineker took severe damage to his right eye and might not be ready for a few months.
Meanwhile, Andrade is back in training and preparing for war. During an interview with SCMP MMA, ‘Wonder Boy’ had this to say about Lineker:
"After everything happened the way it happened, it was very frustrating for me because I mentalized having the belt for a long time. Now, after everything, the rematch makes sense. It’s the fight that people want to see. He’s still the best guy in the division. I hope if we rematch soon, I hope he makes weight first and we can fight again."
