"It's gonna hurt him bad" - Kwon Won Il guarantees a world of pain for Fabricio Andrade at ONE 170

South Korean knockout artist Kwon Won Il wants to exact his revenge against Brazilian rival and reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade by supplanting him as the new king of the division at ONE 170 on Jan. 24, 2025.

Appearing as a guest on the Anything Goes podcast, Kwon promised 'Wonder Boy' would be in for the beatdown of his life, saying:

"You know, if he gets beaten up and he gets hit by me, he would be so surprised that he might even cry. It's gonna hurt him bad. It might make him cry, you know. So let's see."

Watch the entire interview below:

'Pretty Boy' and Andrade first butted heads in June 2022 at ONE 158, where the winner would be a step closer towards challenging then-reigning 145-pound MMA king John Lineker.

Andrade handed Kwon his first-ever knockout defeat in ONE with a vicious kick to the body barely a minute into their anticipated showdown.

The Extreme Combat and P-Boy MMA product rebounded from the shocking outcome by logging three straight TKO victories to earn his shot at revenge against Andrade inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Fabricio Andrade again taps boxing coach John Hutchinson ahead of Kwon Won Il rematch

Fabricio Andrade has greatly benefited from the guidance of Tiger Muay Thai boxing head coach John Hutchinson. He plans to continue working with him before defending the bantamweight MMA throne against Kwon Won Il at ONE 170.

In a recent Instagram video, Andrade shared how instrumental Hutchinson is to his success:

"He's been a part of my camp to keep me working on my hands and gain more power. I hopefully gain more power with my hands. It's something that I don't have, a [one-shot] knockout with my hands, so that's something that I want to do in my career."
