Kulabdam thrilled to face big name John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 27: "Very honored to share the ring with him"

Although he is already a massive name in the art of eight limbs, Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai is still looking forward to his Muay Thai clash with former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker on Jan. 10 at ONE Fight Night 27.

Kulabdam and Lineker will light up the ring inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and ahead of their match, the former spoke about how excited he is to face the latter because of his stacked resume.

The Thai sensation shared this during his recent interview with Nick Atkin during the media day of the event, as he stated:

"I'm doing good. I'm excited for this fight. John was an MMA world champion, and I'm very honored to share the ring with him."

'Left Meteorite' looks to snap the two-fight win streak of 'Hands of Stone' and become the first fighter to beat him in Muay Thai after Asa Ten Pow and Alexey Balyko failed to do so.

Kulabdam is fresh off a third-round knockout win over Suablack Tor Pran49 in his previous bout at ONE Friday Fights 81 in September 2024.

Kulabdam thinks that John Lineker's should fully learn the art of eight limbs and not rely much on his punching power alone

Although Lineker's transition from MMA to Muay Thai is already a feat, the Sor Jor Piek Uthai representative still believes that he needs to learn the ropes of the sport and maximize the art of eight limbs.

Kulabdam mentioned this during a recent interview before the fight, where he said:

"For him to cross over from MMA to Muay Thai, I personally think he still has a lot to learn. Muay Thai has punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. He only has punches, truly living up to his nickname, 'Hand of stone.'"
