Earlier this year, in an interview with Nic Atkin of South China Morning Post, 'Wonder Boy' Andrade claimed: “That’s why I’ve been asking to fight him for [the past] two years because I believe in my skills and I believe when I finish a guy like him in the first round that nobody has ever done, then it’s going to be a real statement, not only inside ONE Championship but the whole world [as well]. Everybody’s going to have their eyes on me because nobody has done what I’m gonna do to him.” The young Brazilian continued and re-emphasized the point that he will KO John Lineker. He added: "The fact that Bibiano was able to drop him showed me that [Lineker] has a lot of holes in his game, and that gives me a lot more confidence coming into this fight against him. I believe I can finish him in the first round only in striking." See Fabricio Andrade's full interview with SCMP below: Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by C.
