Asa Ten Pow looking to book Fabricio Andrade MMA showdown if he gets past John Lineker: “That would be a great matchup”

34-year-old multi-sport athlete 'The American Ninja' Asa Ten Pow of the United States is looking to flip the script when he steps into the Circle this weekend in Denver.

Ten Pow will welcome former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker to ONE Championship Muay Thai, and with a victory, he believes he can earn the next crack at bantamweight MMA king 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Ten Pow talked about using Lineker as a springboard to a mixed martial arts career.

'The American Ninja' said:

"I think ‘The American Ninja’ is one of the most exciting things to happen to MMA. Put me up against Fabricio Andrade, that would be a great matchup for me."

Asa Ten Pow competes in multiple combat disciplines. He made his ONE Championship debut in October 2022 Muay Thai contest against Algerian icon Mehdi Zatout.

Although he lost that fight, 'The American Ninja' came roaring back to win his next two, finishing Han Zi Hao and Rambolek Chor Alajaboon.

He is currently 1-0 in a professional mixed martial arts competition.
