Danny Kingad says ‘you can’t count John Lineker out’ in rematch against Fabricio Andrade

Team Lakay's Danny Kingad doesn't believe Fabricio Andrade is going to waltz to a victory over John Lineker in their rematch at ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video.

Lineker struggled for much of the duration in his first meeting with Andrade last October, but the former champ brings his lights-out power and experience into every single bout.

Danny Kingad isn't counting out 'Hands of Stone' yet, telling The MMA Superfan:

"Both of them have what it takes to win. Even though Fabricio Andrade has somewhat of an advantage in a lot of areas, you can’t count John Lineker out. This fight will end in a knockout or a stoppage. They just have to play to their strengths, connect clean punches, kicks, and knees."

The flyweight continued, adding:

"Whoever wants it more will definitely take the win. I don’t think this fight goes the distance. It will end in the fourth."

Danny Kingad says Fabricio Andrade's distance control will be a factor once again in the rematch with Lineker

Kingad—who is also scheduled to compete at ONE Fight Night 7—believes Andrade's length advantage will be a factor again in the rematch with Lineker:

"Fabricio Andrade is a master at using distance. He’s long and athletic, and also taller than John Lineker. The distance and range was a huge factor in the first fight. That’s why he had a lot of success and dominated Lineker. It might be a factor again."

It will undoubtedly be important for Lineker to close the distance in order to land his patented power hooks. Remaining at Andrade's preferred distance will spell trouble for the UFC veteran.

Meanwhile, Kingad is expected to face Indonesia's Eko Roni Saputra in a critical flyweight bout. The No. 3 ranked flyweight is 10-3 inside the circle, but he has lost two of his last three bouts (albeit against two of the division's top contenders).

ONE Fight Night 7 airs on on February 24 on Prime, headlined by the bantamweight world title rematch between Fabricio Andrade and John Lineker.
