Fabricio Andrade warns Team Lakay's Jeremy Pacatiw: 'It's he who should be worried'
World-rated bantamweight Fabricio Andrade says that Jeremy Pacatiw of Team Lakay should be worried when they step inside the cage on the undercard of ONE: Full Circle on February 25 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
“I'm just 24 years old and I was already ranked no. 4 on just my second fight in ONE. I think I am making a statement to the world with how I fight and I feel more and more confident every time I step inside the ONE circle,” said Andrade.
“I'm super excited for this fight and I can say that I have a perfect camp that I trained in. I can't wait to step back inside there.”
Andrade, 6-2 as a professional mixed martial arts fighter, is riding a five-fight win streak. He last saw action in December against the hard-hitting Li Kai Wen of China where he won by way of first-round technical knockout.
Pacatiw, meanwhile, is an equally dangerous prospect from Baguio City. He made his ONE debut last July and defeated Chen Rui via unanimous decision. Known for his heavy strikes and highlight-reel finishes, Andrade says he’s unfazed with the danger that Pacatiw brings to the cage.
“He's a good fighter and he is coming from a good win in his first fight here at ONE Championship. I am not worried about his game because I, too, bring many weapons for my fights,” Andrade said.
“My striking is different and the way I fight gives me confidence that I can break through any style of my opponents. My takedown defense has also given my opponents headaches in each of my fights, even those who are considered as world-class grapplers like Shoko Sato. It's he who should be worried.”
