“Testing out new techniques” - Bantamweight MMA king Fabricio Andrade looking to add spinning kicks to his lethal arsenal

Fabricio Andrade is already one of the most lethal pure strikers in mixed martial arts, but the reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion won't ever be content with his current arsenal.

Working on his form at Tiger Muay Thai, Andrade looks to add some spinning heel kicks into his striking game ahead of his next match in ONE Championship.

Andrade, who has one of the most lethal body kicks in MMA, recently shared a post on Instagram and wrote:

"Testing out new techniques."

The short video showed Andrade working on his Wushu-style kicks with Muay Thai coach Phetsrinin Na Muang Trang.

Andrade was a former Muay Thai and kickboxing fighter with a combined record of 40-4, but MMA proved to be his calling.

'Wonder Boy', as he became eventually known, is undefeated in his MMA matches in ONE Championship with a record of 6-0 (1 no-contest) and an absurd 83.33 percent finish rate.

The Brazilian star holds a submission win over Mark Abelardo in his promotional debut and knockout victories over Li Kai Wen, Jeremy Pacatiw, Kwon Won Il, and John Lineker.

Andrade, though, fell short in his bid for double-champ status when he lost to ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Jonathan Haggerty in their champion-versus-champion super fight for the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title.

Fabricio Andrade issues an open challenge to anyone who wants a shot at his bantamweight MMA throne

After a bittersweet 2023 campaign, Fabricio Andrade is ready to defend his ONE bantamweight MMA world title against anyone who opposes him.

Andrade took to Instagram to issue an open challenge to his world title and asked ONE Championship who should be the man to challenge his reign.

He wrote:

"Who is next? @onechampionship #mma #champion #onechampionship"

After knocking John Lineker out for the ONE bantamweight MMA world title, Andrade failed to recreate his form against Jonathan Haggerty for the division's kickboxing gold in November 2023.

Andrade eventually revealed that he was nursing multiple injuries when he lost to Haggerty in their Bangkok super fight at ONE Fight Night 16.
