Former bantamweight MMA champ John Lineker heads to Reddit for AMA session ahead of Muay Thai debut at ONE 168
ONE Championship has always made it a priority to give fans special to their favorite fighters, and John Lineker will be the next superstar to engage with his supporters in the cyberspace. The former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion will head over to Reddit on the r/MMA subreddit for an ask-me-anything session with the fans ahead of ONE 168: Denver.
Lineker will head to the platform on Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 4 pm Eastern Time or 2 pm Mountain Time.
ONE Championship announced the schedule on its Instagram stories, while Lineker also uploaded a story of his own to promote his fan interaction.
John Lineker is just one of the many ONE Championship stars who engage with fans on the platform heading into their fights.
ONE flyweight MMA world champion Demetrious Johnson, ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion Stamp Fairtex, Angela Lee, Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida and many others made time for their fans on the platform.
Lineker, a professional MMA fighter since 2008, will make his Muay Thai debut when he faces American star Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168 on Friday, Sept. 6, at the Ball Arena in Denver.
It will be intriguing to see the Brazilian knockout merchant in a new discipline. Of Lineker's 18 career knockouts, 4 came under ONE Championship when he shook the cobwebs of Kevin Belingon, Troy Worthen, Bibiano Fernandes and Kim Jae Woong.
John Lineker plans to knock Asa Ten Pow out in Denver
He may be at a disadvantage in terms of experience, but John Lineker believes he'll always have the edge when it comes to pure knockout power.
Lineker has always sought to end his fights via knockout, and he plans to do the same against Asa Ten Pow in his Muay Thai debut this Friday.
He told ONE Championship in an interview:
"I always look for the knockout, and it certainly won’t be any different this time. I’m going to look for the knockout all the time, round by round, and I hope I can do it."
