John Lineker returns to action at ONE Fight Night 7 on Friday, February 24. The heavy-handed Brazilian will run it back with Fabricio Andrade in the main event for the vacant ONE Bantamweight World Championship. Before their first meeting, Lineker was stripped of the gold for missing weight & hydration. Then, during the match, he suffered a low blow that prevented him from continuing.
But overcoming adversity is nothing new for Lineker. In an interview with ONE Championship, Lineker detailed his upbringing that saw him face bullying head-on and fall in love with combat sports.
