Fabricio Andrade believes that behind every successful man is a patient and caring woman.
The reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion admits he's lucky enough to have a loving spouse who stuck by him long before he achieved fame and glory in mixed martial arts.
In an interview with ONE Championship, 'Wonder Boy' recently paid homage to the love of his life, Elizaveta, for being his rock throughout his career.
“[Her support] has always been very strong since the beginning. So, we never had any problems, especially because she was also involved in fighting. So, from the beginning, she supported me. And she gave up everything. She quit her job and left her country to come live with me and help me."

The Brazilian superstar continued:
“In my last fight, she was a very important part of the preparation because she gave me a lot of support. So, that’s one of the good things that this relationship has brought me.”
Fabricio Andrade has truly come a long way from his early poverty-stricken days in the infamous favelas of Brazil. While the 27-year-old's talent and hard work got him this far, he admits he couldn't have done it alone.
Fabricio Andrade says martial arts taught him to become a man
Growing up with nothing handed to him, Fabricio Andrade needed an outlet and a goal to make something out of his life. The Brazilian soon fell in love with martial arts, and the rest, as we now know, is history.
'Wonder Boy' wrote on Instagram:
"When I was 13, I started doing Muay Thai. I had no expectations of anything. I was just a kid who wanted to be good at something. I was always very focused and very demanding of myself. I was also always very explosive, and in fighting, I was able to use all this 'explosion."
The Tiger Muay Thai affiliate added:
"In addition to being my escape valve, it also helped me evolve and always seek to overcome my limits. And above all, I don’t turn down challenges. I believe that all of this created the person I am today."
