Fabricio Andrade is ready to defeat John Lineker

It is a tall order to defeat one of the toughest and hardest-hitting fighters in MMA. But Fabricio Andrade is aiming to do just that when he meets 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker at ONE on Prime Video 3. Andrade plans to take the bantamweight crown home with him.

According to the 25-year-old Brazilian, he will be ready for war on October 21. While speaking with Tudor Leonte of Sherdog.com, Andrade explained:

“I’m prepared to fight five rounds, but I don’t believe he can be able to take all the damage that I’m going to bring at the start of the fight. I’ll finish him in the first.”

'Wonder Boy' added that one of the key aspects he will utilize in this bout is the training he has received from Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand:

"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."
