Fabricio Andrade has touted ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video in February as an exciting event. That's not only because he is headlining it, but also because the card features other top-class matchups.
'Wonder Boy' is set to clash with John Lineker in an all-Brazilian rematch for the vacant ONE bantamweight world title. That bout will serve as the main event for ONE Fight Night 7, happening on February 24 in Bangkok, Thailand.
In an interview with The MMA Superfan, Fabricio Andrade highlighted how the main card for the upcoming ONE event is stacked with noteworthy athletes and pairings:
“Shamil Gasanov is fighting on this card as well. He's a featherweight, he's [also] training at Tiger [Muay Thai]. This should be a good fight against former champion Martin Nguyen. Also, Tawanchai is the co-main event. It should be a good Muay Thai fight. He's going to fight a strong Russian opponent. It should be a good card."
Check out the video below for the full interview:
ONE Fight Night 7, set for the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, will have hometown bet Tawanchai PK.Saenchai defending the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title against Turkish challenger Jamal Yusupov in the co-main event. Gasanov, meanwhile, battles former two-division world champion Nguyen in a featherweight showdown.
Fabricio Andrade is looking to complete unfinished business against Lineker and ascend to the top of the division with the world title. Their first encounter in October ended in a no contest.
The stacked ONE Fight Night 7 card is available live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.
Fabricio Andrade ready for grappling war with John Lineker if it comes
Less than a month before his next fight, top bantamweight contender Fabricio Andrade said he is ready to go to battle no matter the direction it takes.
‘Wonder Boy’ will meet up with former world champion John 'Hands of Stone' Lineker in their all-Brazilian rematch for the vacant ONE bantamweight world title at ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video on February 24 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Some pundits and observers have said that Fabricio Andrade could struggle against Lineker’s celebrated grappling skills. However, 'Wonder Boy' has had none of that, saying he is ready for anything and knows what to do come fight night.
He told ONE Championship:
“Now there’s no more talks, I know what I’m gonna do, and I’m gonna be ready for everything. If he gives me any opportunity, I’m gonna submit him as well.”
In their first title showdown in October, Fabricio Andrade had to settle for a no contest outcome after Lineker was unable to continue having been struck accidentally in the groin in the third round.
Since then, Andrade has been training hard, even sacrificing some family time during the holidays, in his quest to be crowned champion. Prior to the no contest decision, he chalked up five straight wins to reach the top of the divisional rankings.
