John Lineker finally claimed a World Championship in 2022, but by the end of the year, the gold was no longer around his waist. In August, the Brazilian got back in the win column with a buzzer-beating TKO over Kim Jae Woong. On Friday, September 29, Lineker will try to assert himself as the top contender for the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Championship against Stephen Loman at ONE Fight Night 14.
Loman has looked fantastic since joining ONE Championship. The talented Filipino athlete toppled former divisional king Bibiano Fernandes with seeming ease to put himself within striking distance of a title shot.
