Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai will remain cautious in turning his fight against John Lineker into a phonebooth tussle because of the latter's formidable 'Hands of Stone.'

Both men are expected to deliver fireworks when they go toe-to-toe at ONE Fight Night 27, which emanates live from the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, Jan. 10.

Kulabdam only had praise for Lineker's 'Hands of Stone' during a pre-fight exchange with Nick Atkin, saying:

"When he lands those punches, it's always a knockout, it's guaranteed. He's very good at it."

Lineker enjoyed an astonishing debut campaign in 'The Art of Eight Limbs' as he heads into the toughest assignment of his burgeoning striking career.

He opened his account with a second-round knockout of Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168: Denver inside the Ball Arena in September before following up with a round-one finish of Russian juggernaut Alexey Balyko at ONE Fight Night 25.

That said, Kulabdam isn't just going to raise the white flag when their match gets underway.

The Thai himself has a trademark weapon — his left fist that earned him the moniker 'Left Meteorite' — and he'll look to pounce on any opportunity to halt Lineker's spotless foray in the sport.


Kulabdam "100 percent" ready for Lineker test

Though he has nothing but praise for Lineker's combustive punching power, the Thai knockout merchant remains ready to tackle whatever problem that could arise on fight night.

Sharing his solution to deal with the Brazilian's revered stand-up game, he told Atkin in the same interview:

"I tried to train harder and longer than every other fight. I think I’m 100 percent ready."
