"It's one of the fights with the potential to be the fight of the year. We had a lot of really good fights this year at ONE, but this one has a lot of potential to be the fight of the year. But let's wait and see how this fight unfolds."

In addition to his dozens of world championships in grappling, Almeida is unbeaten in MMA. He made his ONE Championship debut in September 2021 and has worked to a perfect 4-0 thus far. None of his opponents have escaped the first round against him.

Marcus Almeida is looking forward to the heavy-handed, high-stakes matchup between John Lineker and Fabricio Andrade. The combat sports world will be watching alongside 'Buchecha' as both these bantamweights seek a knockout win.
