The Redemption Of John Lineker

The career resurgence of John Lineker in ONE Championship continued on Friday night as he picked up his second consecutive professional Muay Thai victory in dynamic fashion, knocking out Alexey Balyko inside the opening round. “Hands of Stone” came into this fight at ONE Fight Night 25 hot off the heels of a sensational Muay Thai debut just four weeks earlier, where he knocked out Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168 in Denver, Colorado.

The Brazilian looks tailor-made for ‘the art of eight limbs’ and all of his trademark traits were on show during this outing at the fabled Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand.
