“Bro, let’s be honest” - Fabricio Andrade on how an MMA fight would go against Jonathan Haggerty
Reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight MMA world champion 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade of Brazil lost a kickboxing match to former two-sport, two-division world champion Jonathan Haggerty last year. But the Tiger Muay Thai star says that if 'The General' wants to try his luck in MMA, it will not go well for him.
Haggerty has called out Andrade multiple times to a bantamweight MMA match. The Englishman believes he can defeat 'Wonder Boy' and take his gold. But Andrade says Haggerty is no match for him in the all-encompassing sport.
Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nic Atkin of Bangkok Post in a recent interview during ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Prime Video fight week, Andrade laid down the gauntlet.
'Wonder Boy' said:
"Bro, let’s be honest. I’m going to take him down, and I’m going to ground-and-pound the [expletive] out of him."
Andrade was in town to show support for now-former heavyweight MMA king 'Sladkiy' Anatoly Malykhin, who surrendered his gold to Senegal's Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane in the evening's main event.
ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Prime Video took place live at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand last Saturday, Nov. 9. Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action via replay on-demand with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
