With Tiger Muay Thai being one of the biggest MMA gyms in the world, it has been a destination for many top talents. Fabricio Andrade has seen it firsthand over the past seven years.
The ONE bantamweight MMA world champion has trained with fighters from every corner of the globe, each bringing something different to the mat, and each helping him evolve into the fighter he is today.
Andrade spoke about it in an interview with Inside Fighting:
"I just kind of get a little bit of everybody, you know. I’ve been here [at Tiger Muay Thai] for like seven years, and in Tiger you get so many people who come and go all the time. So you train with a lot of different people from different countries, you meet new styles, and you learn a lot of new things, you know."
