“I’ve watched some of his last fights” - Fabricio Andrade studied Kwon Won Il’s most recent victories

Reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight MMA world champion 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade of Brazil is confident he can repeat history and defeat surging South Korean contender 'Pretty Boy' Kwon Won Il again, when the two meet in ONE Championship early next year.

Andrade first defeated Kwon at ONE 158 in June of 2022, winning via first-round knockout in a dominant performance. Now, the two are scheduled to run it back and 'Wonder Boy' says 'Pretty Boy' is in for a whole world of hurt.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Andrade says that he has kept an eye on Kwon since they last fought, carefully studying the South Korean fighter's recent performances.

Andrade believes he has Kwon's style on lock.

The Evolve MMA and Tiger Muay Thai representative said:

"I’ve watched some of his last fights - his last three fights - and also I watched my fight against him. But I’m not thinking only about the fight, you know."

Needless to say, fans can't wait for these two explosive bantamweight bangers to throw down in the ONE Championship ring again, and they expect absolute fireworks when it happens.
