In the battle for the bantamweight throne, Danny Kingad believes 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade will be able to handle 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker. The two will battle for the title once again later this month.

The bantamweight world championship rematch between Andrade and Lineker is set for ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video. The event will go down on February 24 at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium. All the action will be broadcast live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon subscribers across North America.

Speaking in an interview with The MMA Superfan, o.3-ranked flyweight Kingad explained why he believes Brazil's 'Wonder Boy' will be able to get the job done. He explained:

"I think Fabricio Andrade has the advantage in this one, after having already fought John Lineker once. He knows Lineker’s weaknesses, and he knows at what points he can win or lose. Mentally, physically, Andrade has the advantage."
