John Lineker lived up to his nickname “Hands of Stone” at ONE Championship: Inside the Matrix 3, as the Brazilian picked up a KO win against former champion Kevin Belingon.
Lineker and Belingon’s fight headlined the pre-recorded event that aired on Friday. The fight started with the former bantamweight champion Belingon chopping down Lineker’s lead leg, but the Brazilian was unphased and fired back with his trademark wild haymakers.
In the second round, Lineker started mixing up his attack targeting the body and head of Belingon. Just over a minute into the round, a left hand followed by a right uppercut dropped Belingon, and Lineker finished the fight with some follow up ground-and-pound.
