Fabricio Andrade promises fans he'll "make it look easy" against John Lineker in potential rematch

'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade is already planning his rematch against 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker. After the unfortunate end to their first fight at ONE on Prime Video 3, Brazil's Andrade is wasting no time and wants to face Lineker again.

In the headlining fight at ONE on Prime Video 3, John Lineker faced Fabricio Andrade. 'Hands of Stone' missed weight so was ineligible to walk away with the ONE bantamweight world championship. However, Andrade could've become the new champion on the night.

It was a captivating back-and-forth war. Both fighters had impressive moments during the fight. Fabricio Andrade slammed Lineker with a knee to the body that sent the former bantamweight king reeling back. 'Wonder Boy' followed up with another knee but accidentally hit Lineker's cup. As it was an accidental foul and Lineker was unable to continue, the fight was officially declared a no contest.

Andrade was mere moments away from becoming the new ONE bantamweight world champion. With that said, he wants to be right back in the ONE circle to challenge for the throne once again.

While speaking to SCMP MMA, Andrade said the next fight will be his best:

"For the fans, just keep waiting because this will be my best performance ever. I have everything planned out and I will prepare very well. I already know everything he can do and I’ll make it look easy."
