Former ONE Championship Bantamweight titleholder John Lineker is set to compete in a Muay Thai fight against Liam Harrison at ONE Fight Night 18 on January 18th.



The event will take place at Lumpini Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video in the United States, as confirmed by multiple sources familiar with the situation to MMA Fighting.

Lineker, with a record of 37 wins and 10 losses under MMA rules, most recently defeated Steven Roman by decision in September. He has been on a winning streak since losing the ONE Title to Fabricio Andrade and has won four fights by knockout in six ONE banner appearances.

Andrade, Lineker’s recent MMA nemesis, also recently suffered a second-round knockout loss to Jonathan Haggerty in a kickboxing championship bout under the different rules set by ONE.

Harrison, a 38-year-old British striker, has been competing in Muay Thai and kickboxing for decades. He has won two of his four Muay Thai bouts inside the ONE ring since 2019 by first-round knockout and narrowly lost to ONE Muay Thai Champion Nong-O Gayanhadao in August 2022.
