“We’re gonna get the finish via KO” - Antonio Mammarella believes experience is key against newcomer Adrian Lee

Italian-born MMA star Antonio Mammarella is no pushover. In fact, he is ready to give a rough welcome to the highly anticipated fellow ONE newcomer, Adrian Lee.

According to Mammarella, the only way he can do that is by knocking out the youngest of the famous Lee family in their debut fight at ONE 167: Tawanchai vs. Nattawut II.

In an interview with ONE Championship, the Australian-based fighter said:

“We’re gonna get the finish via KO.”

The reason why Mammarella carries that kind of confidence is not just because of his swag, but also due to his longer experience in the professional mixed martial arts world.

Ahead of their fight in the Impact Arena, Bangkok, he added:

“I think an important aspect is not only having a pro fight, but also being a pro fighter for more time than Lee. And with that, I mean living, training, and thinking like a professional fighter.”

Plus, Mammarella has been training for years under the tutelage of Italy's finest coach – the highly respected Angelo Pompeo. Hence, this is indeed be a barnburner.
