“We are both hard punchers” - Kulabdam believes his elbow game could prove decisive against KO machine John Lineker

Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai believes there's one vital weapon he could use to stop the terrifying punching power of John Lineker.

The two knockout machines will square off in a catchweight (150.75 lbs) Muay Thai showdown at ONE Fight Night 27 this Friday, US primetime, at the historic Lumpinee Stadium.

In an interview with ONE Championship, the Thai slugger said he's been polishing his elbow game in preparation for Lineker's aggressive marauding style.

Kulabdam pointed out that he and Lineker often rely on their strong boxing, and he expects his elbow counters could crack the Brazilian's defense and potentially lead to a stunning knockout finish.

Though he knows the possible dangers of running head first into Lineker's barrage, Kulabdam said it's a risk he's willing to take if he's aiming for that highlight reel finish in front of his home fans in Bangkok.

"We are both hard punchers. If I come to punch him and get countered with an elbow, I may fall. On the other hand, I will use the same plan against him - use my elbow to counter his punches."

Kulabdam is one of this generation's craftiest strikers, and the man known as 'Left Meteorite' owns 71 career victories and won two Lumpinee Stadium world titles before joining ONE Championship.

He's since elevated his career on the global stage when he racked up eight wins and five knockouts under the world's largest martial arts organization.

ONE Fight Night 27 is ONE Championship's first Amazon card of the year and is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
