Offering some insight into his opponent's skill set during a recent interview with ONE, Andrey thinks that Williams' leg attacks are his primary weapon. Still, Andrey is not too concerned with getting caught up in a knee bar or heel hook.
"I think his best attacks are the leg locks and heel hooks," Andrey said. "It’s not something that worries me, but I have to be careful during the fight so that nothing unexpected happens."
Andrey goes into his ONE debut with 98 career wins on his resume, 50 coming via submission, giving him a solid 51% finish rate.
Fabricio Andrey plans on being one of the few to submit Ashley Williams
Fabricio Andrey may not be too concerned with Ashley Williams catching him in a submission, but he'll have to be on his A-game if he hopes to make the Brit tap out on martial arts' biggest global stage.
Through 84 career matches, Williams has only been submitted twice in his career—a truly impressive stat.
But if things go his way, Andrey will join the very short list of athletes who have forced Williams to make a split-second decision—tap, snap, or nap.
“I’ve fought a lot of good guard players," Andrey added. "I’ve fought a lot of good wrestlers. I’ve managed to take down the best wrestlers in my category. I’ve managed to pass the guard of the best guard players in my division. I’ve managed to take down the best judokas. So, why not submit someone who is difficult to submit? Let’s go.”
