Fabricio Andrade views his first fight with John Lineker as a loss, rather than a no contest

Fabricio Andrade didn’t win his ONE on Prime Video 3 main event against John ‘Hands of Stone’ Lineker in October. He didn’t lose either, but that’s not how ‘Wonder Boy’ sees it.

When the two squared off in Malaysia last year, fans were seemingly moments away from seeing a new ONE bantamweight world champion crowned. Unfortunately, an ill-placed knee by Andrade ended the evening early and sent both fighters home with a no-contest on their record. In an interview with the South China Morning Post, Andrade spoke about his frustration following the anticlimactic finish and how he feels looking back on it.

“Yeah, I was really frustrated. Of course, I didn't know what to think at the moment because, for me, it was a loss. I took that fight as a loss because I didn't win the belt.”

Fabricio Andrade will get another opportunity to claim a ONE world title in a matter of days when he once again faces John Lineker under the main event spotlight. This time, the Brazilian foes will square off at the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on February 24 to headline ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video.

Fans in North America can watch the epic encounter live and for free in U.S. primetime on Amazon Prime Video.

Fabricio Andrade is excited for the other fights on ONE Fight Night 7

Everyone is clamoring to see the highly anticipated rematch between Fabricio Andrade and John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 7 on February 24, and the night is loaded with can’t-miss fights from beginning to end. Speaking with The MMA Superfan, ‘Wonder Boy’ shared the fights he is most looking forward to seeing before he makes his main event walk to the circle.

“Shamil Gasanov is fighting on this card as well. He's a featherweight, he's [also] training at Tiger [Muay Thai]. This should be a good fight against former champion Martin Nguyen. Also, Tawanchai is the co-main event. It should be a good Muay Thai fight. He's going to fight a strong Russian opponent. It should be a good card."

ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK.Saenchai will defend his world title against No.2-ranked contender Jamal Yusupov. The Turkish challenger will enter the bout with an undefeated record of 3-0 inside the circle. Similarly, Tawanchai will go into the bout on a three-fight win streak with an impressive 75% finish rate.
