Fabricio Andrade wants to join elite company and one day become a ONE Championship Hall of Famer.
The Brazilian finishing machine may be focused on his next world title defense on the global stage of ONE Championship, but he's equally motivated to build a legacy that lasts beyond his fighting career.
Before the reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion defends his title against Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu in the main event of ONE Fight Night 38 on Friday, December 5, inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium, Nick Atkin discussed with 'Wonder Boy' on his ultimate goal that extends past collecting wins and defending gold.

The ONE Championship Hall of Fame represents the ultimate validation for athletes who've defined eras in their divisions.
Fighters like former ONE flyweight MMA world champion Demetrious Johnson and former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Bibiano Fernandes earned induction through sustained excellence, memorable performances, and championship reigns that elevated their divisions.
Most recently, ex-double champ Aung La N Sang joined Johnson and Fernandes in the ONE Hall of Fame. The Myanmarese sporting hero held the middleweight and light heavyweight crowns.
'The Burmese Python' was inducted during the organization's Tokyo card, ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, last month.
Fabricio Andrade impressed by Baatarkhuu's physique, but says his style is 'boring'
From watching Baatarkhuu's fights to creating a specific plan to overcome the challenger, Fabricio Andrade has covered all bases as he looks to make it back-to-back knockouts inside the Circle in 2025.
In a separate pre-fight exchange with ONE ahead of his bantamweight MMA world title matchup, 'Wonder Boy' shared his impression of the No.4-ranked contender.
“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," the 28-year-old pointed out.
