The Brazilian powerhouses entered their first world-title clash with seven finishes combined since their careers took flight in ONE Championship.

‘Hands of Stone’ John Lineker had already catapulted his name to superstardom during his UFC tenure, but none believed the true scope of his power until he made quick work of four highly elite competitors on the ONE roster, including former ONE bantamweight world champions Bibiano Fernandes and Kevin Belingon.

The former ONE bantamweight world champion brought on the intimidation factor in every single one of his performances, setting the bar higher than any other bantamweight in ONE history - until Fabricio Andrade came onto the scene.
