Brazilian knockout artist John Lineker knows his strength too well, and he plans on doubling down on it for his upcoming Muay Thai match against Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai on Jan. 10 at ONE Fight Night 27 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
In a recent interview with the world's largest martial arts organization, the former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion identified his hands as his biggest asset when competing inside the ring, as he stated:
"Without a doubt the most dangerous weapon I bring to this fight are my stone hands. Without a doubt this is my most dangerous tool I have to offer my opponent."

There is a reason why Lineker secured the fight moniker of 'Hands of Stone' because he was able to finish six of his eight opponents to record a majestic finish rate of 75 percent under the ONE banner.
Now, he aims to use this to potentially extend his Muay Thai win streak to three after previously victimizing Asa Ten Pow and Alexey Balyko.
John Lineker reiterates his desire to recapture the ONE bantamweight MMA gold despite Muay Thai success
The American Top Team representative has once again clarified that his main goal is to reclaim his throne as the undisputed king of the bantamweight MMA division even if he experiences massive success in competing on the art of eight limbs.
John Lineker shared this plan in a recent interview with ONE Championship by stating:
"Right now, I just want to do these super fights, especially to keep myself active. I'm not thinking about continuing with Muay Thai fights and getting a title shot yet. As I said, my focus remains on MMA. I want to fight for the MMA bantamweight title and win the belt again."
