Fabricio Andrade predicts Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu will fold when he gets a taste of his power: “It's going to be over” 

ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade of Brazil doesn’t think Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu will survive the onslaught that’s coming for him at ONE Fight Night 38 on Prime Video.

In the main event of the promotion’s final U.S. primetime event of the year, ‘Wonder Boy’ will defend his crown against the streaking Mongolian warrior on Dec. 5 at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

As always, the flashy 28-year-old striker will once again hunt for another highlight reel finish to retain his throne in style.

Andrade is coming off a 42-second destruction of his last challenger, Kwon Won Il, at ONE 170, where he demolished the South Korean for a second time with a sickening liver blow.

While Baatarkhuu is feared for his strength and durability, Andrade thinks it’s only a matter of time before he knocks him out, too.

The Tiger Muay Thai and Evolve MMA athlete told the Bangkok Post’s Nick Atkin:

“Yes, that’s a very strong option I would say [finishing Baatarkhuu with a liver shot]. Especially after he tries to take me down, he's going to have to use a lot of strength. If he gets a little bit tired and I hit him with that knee, it's going to be over.”

Fabricio Andrade not underestimating Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu

Fabricio Andrade is confident, but don't mistake it for complacency.

'Wonder Boy' put on a lot of work in training to make sure he's well-equipped to beat Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu.

"Yeah, I'm very happy to be able to be competing. For us, it's very important to stay active, and I had a very long preparation for this fight. I'm happy that it's finally here," he told Nick Atkin.

"We cannot look past any opponent. Every opponent brings a new challenge, and I need to be focused and prepared to beat him first."
