The ONE bantamweight championship is still vacant after John Lineker vs. Fabricio Andrade was ruled a No Contest at ONE on Prime Video 3 this past Friday.
It was a rough outing for Lineker, who was stripped of the championship and docked 20 percent of his purse after missing weight for what should have been the first defense of his reign against Andrade. Not only did ‘Hands of Stone’ suffer a potentially broken orbital bone, but he was also on the receiving end of one of the worst fouls of the year.
The first round started somewhat tentative, with Andrade going forward and throwing kicks as Lineker circled away.
