Brazilian MMA star John Lineker can knock his opponents out at a moment's notice. The former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion did just that against Kim Jae Woong in August 2023 at ONE Fight Night 13.
Lineker needed a miracle to secure the victory as he was largely behind on the scorecards entering the third round. With seconds to spare in the final frame, 'Hands of Stone' crumpled Kim with a monstrous left hook and immediately swarmed him to win by TKO.

The American Top Team star followed this performance by handing second-ranked ONE bantamweight MMA competitor Stephen Loman his first loss under the ONE banner in September of that year.
However, this past January, he would suffer his first submission defeat in ONE at the hands of former ONE lightweight MMA world champion Shinya Aoki.
The heavy-handed 34-year-old will look to return to his winning ways when he makes his Muay Thai debut against Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 inside the Ball Arena.
Stephen Loman thrilled to watch John Lineker's Muay Thai debut at ONE 168
Though John Lineker ended his three-fight winning streak, Stephen Loman has high hopes for the Brazilian veteran's Muay Thai debut at ONE 168: Denver.
Speaking with Sportskeeda MMA, 'The Sniper' stated:
"Because in Muay Thai, you really have to use your kicks, elbows, and knees. So I think he'll use more of his kicks this time around, and of course, he already has his boxing, hooks, body shots. He'll mix things up, and I think he'll try to use his kicks more."
Watch ONE 168: Denver live inside the Ball Arena on September 6. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
