John Lineker looking to silence Fabricio Andrade with his fists

Quite frankly, John Lineker is tired of hearing Fabricio Andrade run his mouth. The 15-year veteran with legendary knockout power is ready to put an end to ‘Wonder Boy’ when the two clash in the ONE on Prime Video 3 main event this Friday night as ONE Championship returns to Malaysia.

In a video clip posted to his Instagram, Lineker sent a message to Andrade, reminding him that the time for talking is over.

“Fabricio, shhh. I don’t like to talk. I like to put a stone hand in my opponent’s body. I was waiting for him to win more fights before he was worthy of challenging the champion. Fabricio can say what he wants. At the end of the fight, the ‘Hands of Stone’ will come into action. He’s just a big mouth. He wants what’s mine, but he won’t get it.”

Fabricio Andrade believes he is in his prime with no signs of slowing down

With five impressive wins and three straight knockouts, Fabricio Andrade believes he is in the prime of his combat sports career. At just 25 years old, ‘Wonder Boy’ could reach the pinnacle by capturing the ONE bantamweight world championship at ONE on Prime Video 3 this Friday.

Speaking to ONE ahead of his battle with John Lineker, Andrade believes he is doing everything right and will only continue to improve as time goes by.

"I believe I'm entering my peak – not only as a fighter, but also outside the cage. The way I've been behaving, the discipline I've been having in relation to diet, the mental part and training. Everything I've done has shown that I'm 100 percent focused on being the best version of myself."

Andrade continued, saying:

"When you're doing everything right, that's when you hit the next level and that's what's happening to me. I'm entering my prime now, but I believe that if I keep doing what I'm doing, I'm still going to grow a lot. I have a lot [of room] to grow and improve in the sport. There's always room for improvement, so I believe I'm still going to get better than I am now."
