By The Numbers: John Lineker vs. Stephen Loman
John Lineker stands just 5-foot-3, but he has made himself a true giant of the lighter-weight classes in mixed martial arts.
“Hands of Stone” will look to stay near the top of the One Championship bantamweight division when he confronts Stephen Loman in a featured ONE on Prime Video 14 attraction on Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Lineker has compiled a 5-1 record with one no contest across his seven appearances since joining the ONE roster in 2019. He last competed at ONE on Prime Video 13, where he cut down Jae Woong Kim with punches in the third round of their Aug. 4 clash. Loman, meanwhile, finds himself on an 11-fight winning streak. He last fought on Nov. 18, when he outpointed Bibiano Fernandes to a three-round unanimous decision at ONE on Prime Video 4.
