Fabricio Andrade targets late finish of Jonathan Haggerty: “I wanna make him suffer a little bit”

Reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight MMA world champion ‘Wonder Boy’ Fabricio Andrade is heading into his next fight wanting to make a statement and prove a point – that he can hang with the best of them, regardless of the sport.

Andrade will be gunning for a history-making victory when he attempts to win his second ONE Championship golden belt in a few weeks’ time.

‘Wonder Boy’ is set to face ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion ‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty in the main event of ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade on Prime Video, which will be broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, November 3.

The winner will take home the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title and become a rare two-sport world champion in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Andrade and Haggerty have traded verbal barbs in the lead-up to this fight, and it appears there is real bad blood brewing between the two. ‘Wonder Boy’ says he would like nothing more than to beat ‘The General’ and make an example out of him.

Speaking to YouTube channel, The MMA Superfan, in a recent interview, Andrade sent a stern warning to the English superstar and promised his opponent it's going to be a long night.

‘Wonder Boy’ said:

“I think I wanna make him suffer a little bit, give him some pain and then knock him out after that.”

Andrade is certainly one of the most capable strikers in the promotion and has proven himself in the realm of mixed martial arts. Against Haggerty, however, the Brazilian phenom is entering a different arena by competing in the kickboxing rule set.

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this one.
