John Lineker says looming barnburner against Kulabdam presents “a clash of styles” between boxing and Muay Thai

Former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker can't wait to step inside the ONE Championship ring this weekend and put on a show. The man he will be up against - Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai - is one of the most highly regarded practitioners of 'the art of eight limbs.'

Lineker knows this clash is almost guaranteed to produce fireworks, given Kulabdam's penchant for getting into firefights. Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Lineker talked about the interesting clash of styles between himself and his Thai counterpart.

'Hands of Stone' said:

"Let's say that this fight will be a clash of styles, me with boxing and him with Muay Thai. It will certainly be a great fight!"

Lineker always brings the heat to his fights, and the Brazilian knockout artist says this next Muay Thai test will be no different. Needless to say, 'Hands of Stone' doesn't expect this fight to last the distance.
