John Lineker confident Adriano Moraes gets the job done against Demetrious Johnson in their trilogy

Ahead of his own huge world championship matchup on the horizon, John Lineker has previewed the upcoming trilogy fight between Adriano Moraes and Demetrious Johnson.

At ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, Moraes will face ‘Mighty Mouse’ in the main event with everything to play for. Not only will both men try to close out their legendary trilogy after holding a statement win over one another, but the flyweight world championship will also be on the line as Moraes looks to get revenge and win back his title.

Such a seismic clash has an equally fitting stage, with ONE Fight Night 10 being the first ONE Championship event to be hosted in the United States. The 1stBank Center in Colorado will play host to one of the greatest MMA trilogies of all time on May 5.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, former bantamweight world champion John Lineker gave his early prediction for how he sees this fight playing out:

“It's going to be great to be able to watch ONE in the US. As I've trained with Adriano Moraes, I believe that if he takes him down, and do a grappling game, he'll beat Demetrious.”

John Lineker shuts down talk of next challenges until after Fabricio Andrade rematch

John Lineker needs to be at his very best if he is going to win back his bantamweight world championship in his rematch with Fabricio Andrade. At ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video, Lineker has a huge task at hand, and he is attempting to block out everything else until the mission is accomplished.

The man they call ‘Hands of Stone’ is a dangerous individual, and once he sets his sights on something, it’s a scary prospect. Ahead of the February 24 clash, the former champion is zeroed in on defeating Fabricio Andrade, winning back his world championship, and moving on.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Lineker spoke about the current depth of the bantamweight division. Whilst he respects some of the other contenders, Fabricio Andrade is his one and only focus right now.

John Lineker said:

“Right now I'm 100% focused on Andrade, but I think the bantamweight division is hotly contested. There are certainly other challengers to the title. But at the moment I don't think of another rival, and I want to focus 100% of my energies on this fight with Andrade. Then I’ll see what comes next.”

Before there can be conversations about other top contenders like Stephen Loman, John Lineker knows that he must put this chapter with Andrade to rest. That's a challenge that will require him to be at his very best.

John Lineker vs. Fabricio Andrade 2 is set for the main event of ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video. Live from the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on February 24, the event is also free to watch for North American viewers via Prime Video for Amazon subscribers across North America.
