One of the most violent men in MMA will test his “Hands of Stone” in muay Thai. On September 7th, John Lineker is set to make his highly anticipated muay Thai debut against Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168. This electrifying event will take place at Ball Arena in Denver, marking the promotion’s second show on United States soil. The announcement came from promotion officials on Wednesday.
John Lineker, a 34-year-old powerhouse, is known for his relentless fighting style and devastating punches. His career in the UFC spanned from 2012 to 2019, where he competed in 16 bouts. However, his unexpected release from the UFC in 2019, following a withdrawal from a fight against Rob Font, left many fans in shock. Despite this setback, Lineker quickly bounced back by signing with ONE Championship. Since joining ONE, he has amassed an impressive record of 6-2 with one no contest.
His opponent, Asa Ten Pow, is no stranger to the world of combat sports. A former Glory Kickboxer, Ten Pow has built a reputation as a formidable boxer and muay Thai specialist. Under the ONE Championship banner, he holds a 2-1 record in muay Thai and is currently riding a two-fight winning streak. This clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two elite fighters.
The addition of Lineker vs. Ten Pow adds even more excitement to the already stacked ONE 168 lineup, which includes:
Jonathan Haggerty vs. Superlek Kiatmoo9 – Muay Thai
Kade Ruotolo vs. Mikey Musumeci – Grappling
Liam Harrison vs. Saeksan Or Kwanmuang – Muay Thai
Maurice Abevi vs. Samat Mamedov
