"Literal juggernaut" - Fans in pure awe of John Lineker's stunning come-from-behind knockout of Kim Jae Woong
Former ONE bantamweight MMA king John Lineker displayed his never-say-die attitude during his match with Kim Jae Woong in August 2023 at ONE Fight Night 13, which went down at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
ONE Championship recently reposted the full fight replay of this incredible come-from-behind victory of Lineker on YouTube, as they wrote the video's description:
"Ahead of former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion John Lineker's highly anticipated Muay Thai debut against American striker Asa Ten Pow at ONE 168: Denver on September 6, relive his intense battle with South Korean star Kim Jae Woong at ONE Fight Night 13 in 2023!"
'Hands of Stone' was playing catch up with 'The Fighting God' in the third and final round of their catchweight MMA bout after he was dominated in the two previous rounds.
But the Brazilian star kept moving, fighting, and moving forward up until he found the perfect left hook that connected on the South Korean's chin and instantly floored him. Lineker immediately jumped into a ground-and-pound barrage to complete the comeback with four seconds left on the clock.
This movie-like plot from Lineker's victory received positive messages from fans, as users @user-ud6wh4rz2c, @tinaleechooa1736, @ngwekyinyin3188, and @24sbm120 commented:
