The man with the “Hands of Stone,” John Lineker (33-9), is back and looks to continue his reign of terror in ONE Championship come this April.
MMA Fighting confirmed Thursday that the former UFC flyweight hopeful now has his third fight in ONE booked. It will take place on April 28 at ONE on TNT 4 as Lineker faces off with the Philippines’ Stephen Loman (14-2).
Departing from the UFC in 2019 after a split decision loss against Cory Sandhagen at UFC Sunrise, Lineker would go on to join the Singapore-based ONE. Since that time he’s competed twice and picked up dominant victories in both.
