Speaking to ONE Championship, Baatarkhuu explained why his raw power will be too much for the Brazilian superstar to handle:

"In general, I use all types of mixed martial arts fighting styles and techniques. It's not only Muay Thai or kickboxing. I try to mix them all as much as possible. Well, I guess I might be [stronger]."

While Baatarkhuu has the grappling pedigree, Andrade is a proven destroyer on the feet. ‘Wonder Boy’s' devastating body blows were on full display when he took out Kwon Won Il in just 42 seconds at ONE 170 with a brutal liver shot.
