“He has to get past me first” - Kulabdam warns Muay Thai newcomer John Lineker not to underestimate him

Muay Thai veteran 'Left Meteorite' Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai of Thailand isn't one to be considered a stepping stone for any fighter. And the Thai athlete isn't about to start now.

Kulabdam is set to face surging Muay Thai contender and former bantamweight MMA world champion 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker in a three-round bout this weekend, and he has a message for the dangerous Brazilian.

Kulabdam shared that message with ONE Championship in a recent interview:

"If he wants to succeed in this sport, he has to get past me first. I’m definitely not an easy hurdle as many people think."

Kulabdam is one of the most celebrated practitioners of 'the art of eight limbs', and a veteran of the sport for over a decade.

He has more than 100 fights on his resume and brings with him a wealth of experience in the ring against Lineker.

If anything, 'Left Meteorite' believes he should be the favorite heading into the matchup.
