Brazilian mauler John Lineker brings his ‘Hands of Stone’ to Muay Thai

Former undisputed ONE bantamweight MMA world champion 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker of Brazil is getting ready to bring his havoc and mayhem into a new realm.

The 34-year-old veteran from the American Top Team will be trying his luck in 'the art of eight limbs' when he makes his Muay Thai debut at ONE 168: Denver early next month.

The prospect of Lineker joining the ranks of fighters like 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9, 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon, and 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty is an enticing one.

The Brazilian is known for his 'Hands of Stone,' which can separate any opponent from his senses.

If you've never seen Lineker in action, just take a look at this incredible montage of the former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion's fearsome punching power.

Lineker joined ONE Championship in October of 2019 and immediately made a splash in the world's largest martial arts organization. He railed off four straight wins against high-caliber opponents, claiming the bantamweight MMA gold from a legend in the process.

Will he be able to replicate his success in Muay Thai? Or is this just a one-off thing? Lineker certainly has the skills necessary to be successful, but only time will tell.
