Brazilian knockout merchant Fabricio Andrade needed just 42 seconds to demolish Kwon Won Il in their rematch, and he's yearning for more game time now.
'Wonder Boy' made it two finishes against the South Korean challenger in their rematch this January, which took place inside Bangkok's Impact Arena during ONE 170.
Andrade immediately pressed forward with aggression, and just as Kwon attempted to circle away and counter with strikes, the Brazilian unleashed a perfectly timed body shot that crumpled his opponent instantly.
What followed was a brief but brutal flurry of ground strikes that forced the referee's intervention, silencing any doubts about his position as one of the best fighters in the promotion after his previous setback against Jonathan Haggerty in their kickboxing world title showdown.

He added:
"I am grateful and ready to get back in there."
Andrade's victory over Kwon improved his promotional slate to 7-1 and took his finish rate to 86 percent. On top of that, the Tiger Muay Thai fighter left the Thai capital US$50,000 richer with a performance bonus for his sub-minute finish.
