“He’s a grappler. He’s a jiu-jitsu guy. He would try to do what he does. He grapples you, and he tries to make you tired, and it is a little boring. But I think he’s strong. He’s little, short, but strong.”

Andrade has long proven his dominance in a stacked bantamweight MMA division in ONE Championship, with wins over guys like Jeremy Pacatiw, Kwon Won Il, and most famously, John 'Hands of Stone' Lineker.
