WATCH: Knockout merchant John Lineker unleashes his deadly stone hands in collection of vicious KO finishes

Taking to Instagram, the promotion shared all four displays of Lineker's devastating knockout power with the accompanying caption:

After coming up short in his fights against fellow Brazilian star Fabricio Andrade over the ONE bantamweight MMA world championship, 'Hands of Stone' bounced back with stellar outings over Kim Jae Woong and Filipino spitfire Stephen Loman.

However, Lineker's two-fight winning streak ended with a rear-naked choke at the hands of former ONE lightweight MMA world champion Shinya Aoki this past January at ONE 165.

The American Top Team star will look to return to his winning ways by defeating Asa Ten Pow in his bantamweight Muay Thai debut at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 at Ball Arena.

John Lineker believes he has Asa Ten Pow figured out ahead of their upcoming bantamweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE 168: Denver.

Speaking with ONE Championship, 'Hands of Stone' shed light on what he will be on the lookout for against Ten Pow, saying:

"From what I've seen, he's a fast guy who moves around a lot. He uses kicks and front attacks very well. He also works well with straight punches and uses his elbows a lot."
