“You will see me kicking his a**” - Kwon Won Il itching for payback in world title rematch with Fabricio Andrade

Kwon Won Il is making a big promise to all of his Asian fans.

On Friday, January 24, 'Pretty Boy' will return to Impact Arena in Bangkok riding an impressive three-fight win streak — all by way of knockout.

That earned the South Korean a shot at the reigning and defending ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade when the promotion heads back to Thailand for a loaded ONE 170 card.

With his highlight-reel finishes against Mark Abelardo, Artem Belakh, and Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg, Kwon Won Il is feeling quite confident ahead of the impending title opportunity, and he's promising to put on one hell of a show for all his fans.

"Yes, I agree," Kwon said during an appearance on Anything Goes. "I believe Asians will root for me in this fight. And, trust me, all those Asians rooting for me — you will see me kicking his a**."

Interestingly, this won't be the first time that Kwon has squared off with 'Wonder Boy' on martial arts' biggest global stage.

Kwon Won Il looks to erase the memory of his first meeting with Fabricio Andrade

The first time Kwon Won Il stepped inside the Circle with Andrade, things did not go well.

Meeting at ONE 158 in June 2022, 'Wonder Boy' landed a brutal body kick 62 seconds into their scrap that folded Kwon and sent him crashing to the canvas. That brought an immediate stop to the bout and ended the South Korean's three-fight win streak.

Backed by a new three-fight win streak, Kwon is ready to even the series and head back to his homeland with the ONE bantamweight MMA world title strapped around his waist.

Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE 170: Tawanchai vs. Superbon II, which will air live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, January 24, in U.S. primetime.
