Brazilian MMA legend John Lineker shares his inspiring journey of overcoming challenges and staying true to his faith. Despite facing setbacks in his career, Lineker remains determined to make a name for himself in the bantamweight division. He is set to face Stephen Loman at ONE Fight Night 14, where Loman aims to continue his winning streak and potentially secure a future showdown with Fabricio Andrade.

Brazilian mixed martial arts legend John Lineker has always held on to his faith, especially during rough times, allowing him to have a better perspective on things and keeping him on the straight path. In a recent interview with ONE Championship , Lineker discussed how his God-centric life has shaped him into the fighter he is today.

Lineker’s career has had its ups and downs in the past year. Last October, he was stripped of the ONE bantamweight world title due to missing weight for his title clash against Fabricio Andrade. Although the fight still took place, it was ruled a no contest when Lineker was unable to continue after being accidentally struck in the groin. In the rematch in February, Lineker was stopped by Andrade in the fourth round, falling short of reclaiming his lost title.

However, Lineker made a comeback in his next fight in August, securing a late TKO victory over South Korean Kim Jae Woong. Now, he is determined to maintain his momentum as he faces fellow bantamweight contender Stephen Loman of the Philippines at ONE Fight Night 14 on September 29.

Loman is currently on a three-fight winning streak and aims to continue his success for a potential future showdown with Andrade.
