WATCH: Knockout machine John Lineker shrugs off head kick before crushing Kevin Belingon with furious flurry in Singapore

Almost a year after his dream debut in ONE Championship, former ONE bantamweight MMA king John Lineker was pitted against another former divisional world titleholder, Kevin Belingon, in November 2020 at ONE: Inside the Matrix III.

Lineker and Belingon headlined the card, which took place inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Highlights of this incredibly thrilling bout were compiled by the promotion through an Instagram video that was captioned:

"Sound ON 🔊😱 Before John Lineker makes his Muay Thai debut against Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168: Denver, watch his destructive performance against Kevin Belingon! 💥 @johnlinekermma"

'Hands of Stone' displayed his power and granite chin by literally eating every strike from 'The Silencer.' Eventually, the Brazilian found the breakthrough in the second frame when he caught the former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion with a combination to the head and body that crippled him down the canvas for the TKO finish.

It was Lineker's first stoppage victory after he unanimously beat Muin Gafurov during his inaugural match in the promotion.
