MMA sensation ‘Wonder Boy’ Fabricio Andrade teased a behind-the-scenes vlog which will focus on his final weeks of training for his next fight at ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video.

The Brazilian superstar recently collaborated with ONE Championship to promote his long-awaited rematch against ‘Hands of Stone’ John Lineker. In an Instagram post he released this week, Andrade shared a sneak-peak of his training with a series of photographs to hype up the fans. In the caption, he wrote:

“🎥 coming soon @onechampionship 🔥🔥🔥 #wonderboyvlog”

Fans immediately responded with fire emojis as they said:

“Can’t wait!!!🔥🔥🔥.”
“🔥🔥🔥🔥it's time brother 😍.”

Fabricio Andrade is mentally and physically prepared to claim the ONE bantamweight belt on Friday, February 24, in front of his adopted home in Bangkok, Thailand.

Along with the fans, the Brazilian superstar has been waiting for this day to arrive ever since his first match at ONE on Prime Video 5 ended early due to a no-contest ruling.

Jumping back on the horse after a disappointing finish, Andrade has relied on Tiger Muay Thai boxing coach John Hutchinson, who also trains double-world champion Anatoly Malykhin, to make sure his prey sticks around this time for the kill.

‘Wonder Boy’ is the top contender in the bantamweight division with a high finish rate of 80% in his last 5 bouts, making him one of the most vicious and exciting fighters to watch at ONE Championship.

Mark your calendars for Feb. 24, to watch ONE Fight Night 7 live and for free with an Amazon Prime Video subscription.


Fabricio Andrade believes that taking his time will pay dividends against John Lineker

Fabricio Andrade plans to do more of the same attacks in his next world title match against John Linker, but with better focus and efficiency.

The Brazilian superstar has had four months to reevaluate some of the things he did wrong in his last fight. For starters, he blamed himself for the unintentional low blow he delivered against his rival, which ultimately ended the match.

In a recent interview, Fabricio Andrade admitted that the pressure to find the early finish overrided his focus, which as a result, terminated his chances of winning the belt. Speaking to SCMP MMA, ‘Wonder Boy’ addressed what he needs to do better so that it doesn’t happen again:

“I just need to be relaxed. I am a better fighter than he is. I have more speed, I have more power, I have more than he does, you know, so I need to take my time, I need to go there, and enjoy my time and eventually knock him out because it’s gonna happen.”
