It Ain't Over Till It's Over ⏱️ John Lineker vs. Kim Jae Woong

They don’t call John Lineker "Hands of Stone" for nothing. Before the former ONE Championship Bantamweight World Champion makes his kickboxing debut at ONE 172, fans can relive one of his most intense MMA wars against South Korean slugger Kim Jae Woong at ONE Fight Night 13.

In this fight, Lineker faced adversity, took heavy shots, and still pushed forward like the relentless knockout artist he is. Kim Jae Woong brought the fight to him, landing clean strikes, but Lineker’s durability and unmatched finishing ability turned the tide in dramatic fashion. It was the kind of back-and-forth war that defines what it means to be an elite fighter in ONE Championship.

Now, as he prepares to face former kickboxing champion Hiroki Akimoto in a completely different ruleset at ONE 172, the question remains—can Lineker’s legendary power translate into kickboxing? Fans are eager to see if he can adapt his aggressive style to the new challenge.

As we count down to another massive event, this fight serves as a reminder—no matter how tough the opponent, in a fight with John Lineker, **it ain’t over till it’s over.**
