'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade has already gone to war against 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker and feels as though he has him figured out. With that said, the 25-year-old striker is highly confident going into his world title rematch against the MMA veteran.
Late last year, 'Wonder Boy' and Lineker fought for the vacant ONE bantamweight world championship. The bout ended with an unfortunate no contest due to an inadvertent groin strike. Despite no victor being declared, Andrade felt that he was getting the better of Lineker in exchanges up until the end.
Heading into their rematch, 'Wonder Boy' is confident that Lineker will not showcase many new skills in their upcoming fight. While speaking in an interview with ONE Championship, Lineker explained:
"Three months of training will not make him become another athlete. I know how he fights, he knows how I fight, and that won’t change for the rematch. So, I’m sure I’ll knock him out one more time.”
