Former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker will face his toughest Muay Thai opponent to date as he takes on fellow knockout artist Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai in a bantamweight Muay Thai contest on Jan. 10 as part of the ONE Fight Night 27, which will take place inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The world's largest martial arts organization officially announced this barnburner on Instagram, and they captioned the post with:

"HEAVY HITTERS ⚔️ Former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion John Lineker continues his climb up the Muay Thai ranks against the legendary "Left Meteorite" Kulabdam on January 10 at ONE Fight Night 27 on @primevideo! Will "Hands of Stone" move to 3-0 in Muay Thai? @kulabdam @johnlinekermma"

'Hands of Stone' has successfully and smoothly transitioned to the art of eight limbs and quickly collected two knockout wins over Asa Ten Pow in September at ONE 168: Denver and Alexey Balyko in October at ONE Fight Night 25.
