ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion Fabricio Andrade opened up about his remarkable transformation from surviving the mean streets of Fortaleza, Brazil, to becoming one of mixed martial arts’ most explosive finishers ahead of his title defense against Physical: Asia star Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu at ONE Fight Night 38 on Friday, December 5, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 28-year-old Brazilian discussed how claiming World Title gold changed his perspective on life while reflecting on the personal growth that defines his proudest accomplishments beyond athletic success.
Andrade brings a 10-2 (1 NC) MMA record with six finishes into his second title defense, having demolished Kwon Won Il in just 42 seconds earlier this year to cement his status as the bantamweight division’s best mixed martial artist today.
