ONE: Winter Warriors II just got more interesting with the addition of a new lead card on Friday, December 17, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Among the fights added is a clash between Fabricio Andrade and Li Kai Wen in the bantamweight division.
Andrade will be competing for the third time in ONE Championship and he will be coming in with a professional MMA record of 5-2.
His debut fight took place in July 2020 and 'Wonder Boy' impressed by submitting Mark Abledardo with a rear-naked choke in the second round. His most recent bout was against Shoko Sato in February this year and that match ended in a unanimous decision victory for the Brazilian fighter.
