Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai is a competitor who knows a thing or two about the art of the knockout.
The Thai striker didn't earn the nickname 'Left Meteorite' without putting a few highlight-reel finishes on his record. In fact, all of his recent wins in ONE Championship have come via finish, with the likes of Suablack Tor Pran49, Julio Lobo, Fariyar Aminipour, and Tyson Harrison all facing his destructive power.
That's exactly why his upcoming contest at ONE Fight Night 27 on Jan. 10 is so exciting. At Bangkok's revered Lumpinee Stadium, he will collide with another ruthless puncher.
Former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker has recently made the jump to Muay Thai, where, in consecutive fights, he has put his opponents away early.

Before they meet in what is sure to be an all-action firefight, Kulabdam spoke about his opponent's current momentum.
He told Nick Atkin in a recent interview on fight week that he isn't shocked to see the power of the Brazilian being on full display in recent times:
"Well, I'm not surprised because we all know he has heavy hands, and he also has [good] accuracy. So I'm not surprised at all."

Kulabdam will look to really test John Lineker in Muay Thai
Despite the recent wins that John Lineker has produced, Kulabdam will be a step-up for the MMA competitor.
The 26-year-old has faced some of the top competitors in his weight class and that experience could be key for him on Jan. 10.
Lineker may be dismantling his opponents thus far but it's in this fight where we will truly find out how far he can go in the bantamweight Muay Thai division.
For Kulabdam, this fight is about defending his position in the division and proving that he can come out on top against an equally dangerous opponent.
