“Sharpening the weapons” - Fabricio Andrade looks prime and ready for any challengers to his bantamweight MMA throne
Fabricio Andrade is ready for any challenger coming at him.
The reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion is back to full health and is putting in the work at his home gym Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand.
Taking to Instagram, Andrade shared a short snippet of his training session while preparing for a potential return to action at ONE Championship.

Andrade, one of the most devastating pure strikers in MMA, was working on his kickboxing combinations that became synonymous with his terrifying style.
After a successful kickboxing and Muay Thai career, Andrade burst into the MMA scene in July 2020.
After submitting Mark Abelardo in his ONE Championship debut, Andrade racked up six straight wins to capture the vacant ONE bantamweight MMA world title against John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 7.
His second match against Lineker served as a proper sequel to their first match which ended in a disappointing no-contest at ONE on Prime Video 3.
Andrade's 2023 campaign, however, proved to be a bittersweet campaign.
'Wonder Boy' was nursing multiple injuries when he fought ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Jonathan Haggerty in a champion-versus-champion super fight for the vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title.
Haggerty knocked Andrade out in the second round of their matchup at ONE Fight Night 16 at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
