Fabricio Andrade told ONE Championship bantamweight king John Lineker “you’re next” after a US$50,000 performance bonus-winning liver-kick KO of Kwon Won-Il on Friday night in Singapore.

“The Wonder Boy” made light weight of the No-2 ranked South Korean in the ONE 158 co-main event at Singapore Indoor Stadium, surely setting up a crack at Brazilian champ Lineker.

One man who will certainly get a title opportunity is Tawanchai, who stopped Niclas Larsen inside two rounds to set up a showdown with featherweight Muay Thai champ Petchmorakot.

Earlier on the card, Reece McLaren put his name in the mix to face the winner of the rematch between Demetrious Johnson and flyweight MMA champ Adriano Moraes, which was announced during the broadcast as the main event of ONE’s first card on Amazon Prime Video, set for August 27 in Singapore.
