John Lineker hopes to add Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai to his victim list at ONE Fight Night 27

The American Top Team representative will be back to more Muay Thai action on Jan. 10 at ONE Fight Night 27. He is pitted to face the battle-tested Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai in a bantamweight contest inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Lineker aims to extend his win streak to three and add another big name to his growing list of wins under the ruleset. If he gets the job done against the Thai striking star, he could earn a spot in the division's top five rankings and make a potential run toward the 26-pound golden belt.
