"A lot of room for improvement" - Bantamweight MMA king Fabricio Andrade says he's far from perfectÂ
ONE bantamweight world champion Fabricio Andrade believes that fans still haven't seen close to the best version of him yet.
'Wonder Boy' has already achieved so much under the ONE Championship banner with a run of highlight reel performances and finishes.
This all led to his two fights with John Lineker where after a no contest result in their first meeting, Andrade left no doubts in the rematch, defeating his fellow countryman to become the world champion.
Despite proving himself to be the best in his weight class, Andrade still feels like he has so much to learn and at 27-years old, he's only going to continue getting better over time.
This is something that he was keen to remind the fans of during his recent appearance at ONE 169 this past weekend.
The champ was in attendance at Lumpinee Stadium to talk about his recently announced return which is set for the new year.
In an interview with the Bangkok Post during the event, he spoke about how fans may have forgotten that he's still young in his career:
"People forget, and I forget too - my MMA record now is 9-2. I don't have much experience. I still have a lot of room for improvement."
Fabricio Andrade is still a level ahead of his opponents
The worrying thing for the rest of the bantamweight division is that Fabricio Andrade has already taken out many of the top names in the weight class and he's only getting better.
This is the exact challenge that Kwon Won Il will try to overcome in their upcoming rematch at ONE 170 on January 24.
The title challenger will arrive at the Impact Arena in Bangkok with the intention of securing revenge over his former foe.
In their first meeting, Andrade secured the first round finish but this has only motivated his next opponent since their first encounter.
