The strongest player in the One Championship “The best moment was the victory over Wonil Kwon”
Asia’s largest organization ‘ONE Championship’ Bantamweight No. 1 beat Kwon Won-il (27) as the highlight of his mixed martial arts career.
Fabricio Andrade (25, Brazil) said in an interview with the One Championship official website and the 2022 settlement of accounts, “Beating Kwon Won-il is the best memory after my debut as a mixed martial arts professional.”
In a bantamweight match in June of this year, Andraj knocked out Wonil Kwon with a body kick 1 minute and 2 seconds into the match. It was six consecutive wins in mixed martial arts after debuting at the One Championship in 2020.
At the time, Andraji was fourth in the rankings. “I defeated Kwon Won-il in second place and received a bonus of 50,000 dollars (approximately 65 million won) (separate from the match fee). As the economic situation improved, everything in my life began to improve as a result.”
“I can afford to invest in my fighter career,” Andraj said. It was a very important step needed to develop into a better player,” he explained why defeating Kwon Won-il was the best moment of his life.
Andraji, who became second in the One Championship ranking instead of Kwon Won-il, rose to first place after a confrontation with bantamweight champion John Lineker (32, Brazil) last October. Lineker, who lost the throne due to a weigh-in failure, fell to second place.
Although the title fight itself was invalidated due to an attack in the 3rd round where Andraj hit Lineker’s vitals, he was recognized as the strongest bantamweight division of the One Championship with a dominant fight until the accident.
