Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai believes the judges can sit back and relax when he goes toe-to-toe with fellow knockout maestro John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 27.

Due to both men's signature tools and penchant for a finish, the striking specialist says his Muay Thai war against the former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion will be done and dusted early.

Their hotly anticipated three-round slugfest takes place live in U.S. primetime this Friday, January 10, inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Speaking to ONE Championship, 'Left Meteorite' revealed that he wants nothing more than to add to his gallery of highlight-reel finishes. That said, Kulabdam knows he could also be at the mercy of Lineker's seismic 'Hands of Stone.'

He said:

"I intent to finish this fight with a knockout, whether it is me or him. Whoever gets hit will definitely fall."

Kulabdam's 'Left Meteorite' will shine against John Lineker's 'Hands of Stone'

Kulabdam isn't just going to be John Lineker's toughest opponent in Muay Thai at ONE Fight Night 27.

The Thai's left fist, which obtained him the nickname 'Left Meteorite,' is a weapon that the Brazilian hasn't quite faced yet in his striking career.

Asa Ten Pow and Alexey Balyko, both victims of the Florida-based fighter's educated hands, are known to pack some dynamite in their fists. But when you throw in Kulabdam's abilities with his left hand, they don't match anywhere near.

The two-time Lumpinee Stadium world champion can let his 'Left Meteorite' rip with minimal set-up, and he'll have plenty of opportunities to mix it up via hooks, uppercuts, or straights when Lineker drops his guard inside the pocket.

All the 26-year-old will need is a small window of opportunity. And if he is presented with the chance to let fly with his trademark tool, don't be surprised if he halts the Lineker hype train inside the Mecca of Muay Thai.

ONE Fight Night 27, featuring two world title contests, will be available live in U.S. primetime for free to all active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada. The card gets underway inside the Lumpinee Stadium on January 10.
