John Lineker is ready to add another highlight-reel victory to his resume when he meets fellow top-five-ranked bantamweight contender Stephen Loman on September 29.

Fans will see the return of John Lineker as he works his way back toward an opportunity to reclaim the ONE bantamweight MMA world championship. Standing in his way will be Stephen Loman, an undefeated fighter under the ONE banner who is determined to secure his first shot at the gold.

Commenting on the post, ‘Hands of Stone’ made it clear that he’s ready to add another big name to his hit list at ONE Fight Night 14.
“I’m ready 👊🏻🪨🔥🔥Let’s go,” Lineker wrote.
John Lineker has only suffered a solitary setback in his ONE Championship run thus far, surrendering his chance at the vacant ONE bantamweight MMA world title to Fabricio Andrade at ONE Fight Night 7 in February. Since then, he has bounced back with a win over Kim Jae Woong. If he can come out on top against Stephen Loman this month, he will undoubtedly secure himself another crack at reclaiming the bantamweight crown.
However, ‘The Sniper’ has no intention of allowing that to happen as he rides into Lion City with a three-fight win streak, including an impressive unanimous decision win over ONE legend Bibiano Fernandes last year.
