“My fights speak for themselves” - John Lineker confident his ‘Hands of Stone’ will overcome Kulabdam’s ‘Left Meteorite’

Something has to give when notorious power punchers John Lineker and Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai collide in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Fight Night 27: Tang vs Abdullaev on Prime Video.

This coming Friday, Jan 10., these certified knockout artists will trade heavy leather in a three-round strike fest inside 'The Mecca of Muay Thai' Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Lineker and Kulabdam certainly earned their ferocious fight monikers, since it symbolizes the destruction they're both capable of.

For starters, the former bantamweight MMA world champion has been terrorizing everyone in his wake with his legendary 'Hands of Stone'.

The Brazilian bomber proved his fists could transcend other disciplines when he continued wreaking havoc in Muay Thai following a 2-0 start with back-to-back knockouts.

John Lineker, though, may have found his match, as he now faces a Thai destroyer whose nuclear-like power earned him the nickname 'Left Meteorite.

In an exclusive interview with ONE Championship, the 34-year-old battle-tested veteran confidently proclaimed his superiority over Kulabdam.

"It's hard to know who has more power, but I believe that my fights speak for themselves about the heavy hand that I have. But I'll find out on the day of the fight if he really has a powerful punch. But I can say that, from my fights, my hand is very heavy."

ONE Fight Night 27 will air live in US Primetime free for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
