Three months after receiving his first-ever ONE Championship defeat at the hands of rival Jonathan Haggerty in the main event of ONE Fight Night 16, Fabricio Andrade is now focused on redeeming himself and proving that he is the best in the world.
During a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, ‘Wonder Boy’ discussed several things, including his mission to return in his most dangerous form and remain hungry to achieve great things.
The reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion stated:
“I still have a lot of things to do and when I'm at my best, I believe I'm the best in the world, so I need to keep proving that and to continue doing great things, you know, like I was doing before the belt you know; hungry, come knocking people out, staying active.”
