"I've faced many heavy hitters" - Battle-tested Kulabdam remains unfettered by John Lineker's legendary 'Hands of Stone'

Facing a fighter with enormous punching power is not new to Muay Thai star Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai, as he explained during his pre-fight interview with ONE Championship ahead of his Muay Thai battle with John Lineker on Jan. 10 at ONE Fight Night 27.

The Thai striking sensation was asked if he had already fought a similar opponent before with the caliber of Lineker's power, and Kulabdam said that he already had an experience against them by saying:

"I've faced many heavy hitters, but I never faced them with small gloves. In the past, I could fight five rounds with big gloves, and I could still endure it."

The 26-year-old star looks to halt the hype train surrounding 'Hands of Stone's' campaign under the striking arts after Lineker successfully knocked out his two previous Muay Thai opponents in 2024.

Kulabdam excited to gauge John Lineker's Muay Thai skills inside the ring at ONE Fight Night 27

The Sor Jor Piek Uthai representative has nothing but praise for the former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion as he gave him his assessment of his relentless fighting style, especially from his two Muay Thai matches.

Speaking to the world's largest martial arts organization in a recent interview, Kulabdam has tipped his hat off to Lineker's incredible cardio, atomic power, explosiveness, and constant attack mode, as he explained:

"I studied him from his two Muay Thai fights. He is a boxer with heavy hands. He never runs out of gas. He is very strong. Most importantly, he has no weaknesses. We have to figure it out in the ring."
