#4 John Lineker's jab-uppercut melts Kevin Belingon

Lineker had only one thing on his mind in his sophomore outing with ex-ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Kevin Belingon.

The hard-hitting athlete stopped the Filipino's crafty strikes with his educated hands inside the opening round, countering every kick and spinning backfist with crisp combinations.

Though 'The Silencer' initially did well to absorb Lineker's attacks in the second round, he took one too many shots to the head and body and he ended up slowing down.

With Belingon backed up, the American Top Team athlete charged forward with a piercing jab and an uppercut that left his foe curled up on all fours at 1:16 of the round.

#3 John Lineker Shuts Down Troy Worthen With Ease

John Lineker's one-punch knockout power took him across the finish line when he went toe-to-toe with Troy Worthen.

The then-31-year-old made his intentions known from the sound of the bell, throwing leather straight down the pipe against the American upstart, who sought to switch levels at every opportunity.

To counter each takedown attempt, Lineker chose to take a break from head-hunting to tenderize his foe's midsection. Those series of strikes soon forced Worthen to drop his guard.

With room to land his trademark weapon upstairs, John Lineker feinted with lefts and landed a picture-perfect straight right on the money to wrap things up at the 4:35 mark of the tie.

#2 John Lineker's 'Hands of Stone' dethrones Bibiano Fernandes

John Lineker couldn't have wished for a more aptly named card – ONE: Lights Out – to put Bibiano Fernandes to sleep and knock him off his perch inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium in March 2022.

The stand-up savant, however, was forced to deal with the divisional king's world-class grappling until the match-winning sequence.

Barely seconds after finding an exit door past 'The Flash's' solid mount game in round two, Lineker slammed his foot through the gas pedal, where he unloaded with all sorts of punches that connected with power and precision.

Sensing blood in the water, 'Hands of Stone' ripped through with clean left hook on the jaw, which turned Fernandes' lights off at 3:40 of the stanza.

#1 John Lineker leaves it late vs Kim Jae Woong

Never count out John Lineker's devastating punching power. Kim Jae Woong learned this the hard way when he crossed paths with the Brazilian at ONE Fight Night 13 in Aug. last year.

Despite foiling Lineker's attacks throughout the entire match, the South Korean athlete – on the cusp of potentially gaining a unanimous decision nod – was caught slacking late in their duel.

'Hands of Stone' beat his rival to the punch and stung him with a looping overhand left. He followed up with a barrage of strikes to secure arguably the most dramatic finish of his ONE career with only four seconds left on the clock.
