As Fabricio Andrade prepares for his own ONE world title fight in February, ‘Wonder Boy’ is looking forward to the highly anticipated trilogy bout between reigning flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and former title holder Adriano Moraes.
The two warriors will mix it up one more time as ONE Championship makes its long-awaited debut to the mainland this May 5. Sharing his thoughts on the final meeting between the two flyweight icons, Andrade told ONE:
“It will be a great fight, a fight that will sell a lot. But seeing the last fight, I think Demetrious Johnson proved he's a better athlete than Adriano Moraes. However, Adriano is a very big guy for the division and he can surprise, as he did the first time they faced each other. DJ needs to stay tuned, but I believe he will come out the winner in this trilogy.”
