Even ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade could not decide on who he should root for in the upcoming championship rematch between defending king Tawanchai PK Saenchai and challenger Superbon.
The Thai striking wizards go toe-to-toe in a ONE featherweight Muay Thai world championship tussle in the main event of ONE 170 on Jan. 24 inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Brazilian MMA menace was recently asked during his interview with Sportskeeda MMA, but he wasn't able to give a direct answer as to whom he sides with, as he explained:
"Superbon versus Tawanchai, that's an interesting one. It's a bit hard for me to pick a clear winner I think. But, you know, based on the first fight, I can say that this one will be explosive. Two of the best strikers meeting again, you can't ask for more."

'Wonder Boy' will also see action on the same card, as he takes on the number three-ranked divisional contender Kwon Won Il in a rematch. His ONE bantamweight MMA world championship will be on the line.
Fabricio Andrade drew first blood against Kwon in their first meeting with a vicious first-round knockout finish in June 2023 at ONE 158, and he hopes to repeat it come fight night.

During their first meeting, Fabricio Andrade showed that he has more power and accuracy in his strikes than 'Pretty Boy' when he landed that unforgiving liver kick.
Despite that success in the striking exchanges, the Evolve MMA and Tiger Muay Thai affiliate vows to mix things up against Kwon in their sequel.
In the same interview with Sportskeeda MMA, the 27-year-old Brazilian discussed his fight plan by stating:
"I believe it won't be easy to knock him out again. But that is why I intend to show my grappling in this fight. I think I will have to rely on that before going back for the knockout."
ONE 170 will be available via watch.onefc.com. The loaded event will take place on Friday, January 24, inside the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
