Bantamweight MMA contender Kwon Won II wants another shot at Fabricio Andrade. And he has certainly done his part to earn it. This past weekend at ONE Fight Night 18, ‘Pretty Boy’ took a dominant second-round TKO against a hard-hitting Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg to the delight of the fans in attendance inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

While everyone expected Kwon to throw down with his signature striking prowess, the South Korean displayed an impressive ground game against his intimidating foe. Following the match, he explained that his game plan was purposeful. This was done because he wanted to highlight his ability to everyone.

Kwon Won Il made a statement about his grappling skills!

In his post-fight interview, ‘Pretty Boy’ explained why he chose to go for grappling in his last fight. “To be honest, yes [I think my grappling is underrated]. And a lot of people online have been commenting that my grappling skill is not as advanced [as my striking]. So I tried to show them at least once that I do have this skill,” he told ONE in a post-fight interview.

With the win, the 28-year-old is now riding a three-fight win streak. Moreover, he may have put himself on track for a shot at Andrade’s ONE Bantamweight MMA World Title. His last loss came back in June 2022, when he was also riding a three-fight win streak heading into a match with ‘Wonder Boy.’

Kwon Won Il issues a challenge to Fabricio Andrade

The Brazilian now has his hands firmly on the World Title. Moreover, he even competed for the vacant bantamweight kickboxing strap against Jonathan Haggerty at ONE Fight Night 16 this past November.

Kwon may be itching for his shot at gold and redemption against Andrade. However, he may have to wait in line in the stacked division. Former bantamweight titleholder and top-ranked contender John Lineker is also in the hunt and is coming off back-to-back wins against two strong opponents. Therefore, he may be first in line.

Despite that fact, the South Korean slugger isn’t looking at other matches right now, as he is fully focused on one thing. “My next plan is on only one thing. Give me the World Title shot. I want Fabricio. I’m going to kill him. That’s my plan,” Kwon said. “Where are you, Fabricio? I’m coming for you.”
