Fabricio Andrade credits his stunning fighting style to the experience he's earned from training internationally. The Brazilian's style is carved from all the places he's called home.

The 25-year-old fighter currently trains out of Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand. Prior to that, he spent time training in China and, of course, at home in Brazil. While speaking in an interview with Sherdog's Tudor Leonte, 'Wonder Boy' explained:

"For sure [training overseas helped], especially because I’ve been fighting in Muay Thai first. Then I started jiu-jitsu when I was still living in Brazil. Then I moved to China, where kickboxing and boxing are very strong. I lived with a bunch of Chinese and trained with them."

Andrade packs power in all of his limbs, and it comes from years of dedicated focus from a diverse team of coaches. Tiger Muay Thai is centralized in Phuket, but his training partners are from all over the globe and bring their experience to him.

Fabricio Andrade added:

"When I come here in Thailand, we got people from all over the world from across different promotions as well. I had the opportunity to train with so many different people and so many different styles. I just adopt everything and pick what works for me. I learned a bit of everything."

Fabricio Andrade seeking bantamweight gold at ONE on Prime Video 3

'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade will need all of the experience he can get when he goes to war against heavy-handed bantamweight king 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker. Andrade will look to take the world title for himself and extend his consecutive knockout win streak at ONE on Prime Video 3.

Regarding his October 21 world title match, Fabricio Andrade said the diversity of striking he has will make all the difference against Lineker. In an interview with ONE, the challenger said:

“The biggest difference is the variety I bring to a fight. I use my boxing, I kick, I use the elbows, the knee. So, the diversity of weapons I bring to the fight will be the biggest difference between my striking and his.”

The two Brazilian knockout artists will go to war at ONE on Prime Video 3 to settle the argument as to who is the best bantamweight inside the circle.
