In fact, Andrade's notorious body shot played a pivotal role in the successful defense of his divisional crown against South Korean rival Kwon Won Il in their rematch at ONE 170 this past January.

'Wonder Boy' only needed less than a minute to fold Kwon and walk out of the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, with 26 pounds of gold draped over his shoulder.

Capitalizing on the opening, Andrade landed with a perfectly timed left hook to the midsection that dropped Kwon to the mat. He then unleashed a torrent of punches, forcing the referee to step in and stop the fight.

Loman also believes that Andrade hasn't faced anyone like him under the promotion's banner yet:

"You've beaten some of the best, but I'm a different animal. My power, my pace, my wrestling — you haven't dealt with someone like me."

Recently, Loman doubled down on luring out Andrade for a matchup.
