Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium set the stage for a defining ONE Championship debut as Britain’s Ben Woolliss faced John Lineker, one of the promotion’s most feared knockout artists. In a fight that captured the energy of ONE Fight Night 41, Woolliss showed zero fear and delivered a plan built on relentless pace and pressure.
Ahead of the battle, Woolliss described a strategy built around breaking opponents down—reflected in how he moved, cut angles, and forced Lineker into uncomfortable exchanges.
