3 possible opponents for John Lineker after ONE Fight Night 25
Former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker is riding some serious momentum right now under the ONE Championship banner.
The Brazilian knockout artist has been doing what he does best, and that's finishing opponents with the ruthless power in his hands.
Following his latest victory at ONE Fight Night 25, he has some exciting options in front of him due to his stature in two different divisions:
1. Ranked opponent in bantamweight MMA
Despite the recent success that he has had in Muay Thai, Lineker is still a mixed martial artist at heart.
He's also currently riding a two-fight winning streak in his natural home of bantamweight despite a late-notice contest against Shinya Aoki earlier this year.
Fighting another top contender in the division would surely see him earn another shot at reclaiming the gold that was once his, even if it is still being held by a former foe of his...
2. Fabricio Andrade in MMA
John Lineker wants his bantamweight belt back but unfortunately, it currently belongs to Fabricio Andrade.
'Wonder Boy' defeated Lineker back at ONE Fight Night 7 in their second encounter to win the title and is yet to defend the belt.
The Brazilian is expected to be back in the near future but it could be Kwon Won Il that he faces next time out.
If there is an opportunity for Lineker to get another shot at beating Andrade, you can be sure that he will jump on this.
3. Rodtang in Muay Thai
One fight that was suggested by Lineker himself following his knockout victory over Alexey Balyko was a dream clash against Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
The ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion is one of the most exciting fighters in the world and the Thai superstar doesn't back down from challengers either.
If these two men were to meet inside a ring or a cage, it would be guaranteed fireworks and that's exactly why the fans want to see it happen.
The replay of ONE Fight Night 25 is available on demand for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
