John Lineker doesn’t plan on backing down and will fight ‘as aggressively as possible’ against Fabricio Andrade

'Hands of Stone' John Lineker is looking to put on a show against 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade. The heavy-handed Brazilian will not take one step back in the main event of ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video.

On February 24, Lineker plans a constant onslaught against his 25-year-old opponent. 'Hands of Stone' and Andrade are all set to battle for the vacant ONE bantamweight world title. All the action on this Friday's card will be broadcast live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon subscribers across North America.

John Lineker discussed his aggressive game plan in an interview with SCMP MMA:

"I’m gonna fight always as aggressive as possible, that’s the way I fight. I’m a boxer, I’m gonna try to knock him out, and I’m gonna be as aggressive as you’ll ever see me."

Late last year, Lineker and Andrade had an explosive fight but it ended as a No Contest. Due to an accidental groin strike that Lineker received, the match was unfortunately called off. After months of waiting, the highly anticipated rematch between 'Hands of Stone' and 'Wonder Boy' is finally here.

John Lineker is ready with a steel cup

Brazil's Lineker has hands of stone and a cup of steel heading into his fight for the bantamweight throne. In an interview with SCMP MMA, the MMA veteran explained:

“Yes, I bought a steel cup so that won’t happen again.”

Both Andrade and Lineker will be aiming for a knockout stoppage to capture the crown in this headlining match. The ONE Fight Night 7 showdown has fans excited for a potential KO finish. In a recent interview with ONE Championship, 'Hands of Stone' explained how he developed his legendary striking power:

"I worked a lot as a bricklayer’s helper, so I hit a lot of dough and carried a lot of weight. I think this strength has been developing since I was a kid."

Live on Amazon Prime Video from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, John Lineker will look to take the ONE bantamweight world championship when he battles Fabricio Andrade on February 24.
