Andrade's proficiency in landing body shots has brought him five finishes in seven victories. It was also one of his key weapons in capturing the then-vacant ONE bantamweight pound MMA world championship over Lineker in February 2023.

Jeremy Pacatiw sheds light on Fabricio Andrade's powerful body blows

Jeremy Pacatiw fought Fabricio Andrade back in February 2022, yet he still remembers the pain he felt when the latter landed the fight-ending knee to his body.

Looking back at the moment in an interview with The MMA Superfan, 'The Juggernaut' opened up on the 27-year-old's power, saying:

"The one he hit me with during our fight was no fluke, his timing with that shot was perfect. I was the one who really leaned into the impact because when he landed the knee I was moving toward it. I really collided with that one, he really caught me with it."
