Explosive Lineup at ONE Fight Night 13 as John Lineker Makes a Comeback Àgainst Kim Jae Woong

Former ONE Bantamweight World Champion John Lineker leads a host of new additions to the ONE Fight Night 13 on Prime Video card.

The August 5 event will be headlined by Chingiz Allazov’s first defense of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship defense against #2-ranked contender Marat Grigorian. But three more bouts have been added to bolster a card that was already looking quite exciting.

John Lineker’s quest for redemption against Kim Jae Woong

Lineker will be hungry to get back to winning ways when he steps into action for the first time since losing his World Title rematch with Fabricio Andrade earlier this year. 

“Hands of Stone” is still the top-ranked contender in the division, but he needs to prove why he deserves the coveted spot.

Standing in his way will be South Korean slugger Kim Jae Woong. “The Fighting God” has struggled to find consistent form in the promotion, but he does own wins over former World Champions Kevin Belingon and Martin Nguyen. Adding another former titleholder to his resume will go a long way in helping him crash the divisional rankings. 

Rising bantamweight contenders set to clash: Sangiao vs. Baatarkhuu

Another bantamweight MMA clash is set to go down when rising contenders Jhanlo Mark Sangiao and Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu battle it out at ONE Fight Night 13 for a chance to make another statement.

Sangiao, who trains in his father’s famed Team Lakay Gym, is undefeated since his arrival in December 2021. With three straight first-round submission victories, the 20-year-old is showing the world that the legendary Filipino stable is developing their ground game well, which they can pair with their already vaunted wushu-based background.

Meanwhile, Baatarkhuu earned his place in the promotion by winning Road to ONE Mongolia. Performing at ONE Friday Fights in April and May this year, the 34-year-old took out two Filipino contenders in impressive fashion. He hopes a third victim will bring him closer to a top-five spot in the ultra-competitive division.

Battle of Brazilian grapplers: Marello vs. Oliveira

Also added to the card is a bantamweight submission grappling contest between Brazilian grapplers Rodrigo Marello and Diego “Pato” Oliveira. Marello owns ONE’s quickest finish in the sport, a 15-second win over Ruslan Bagdasarian in his promotional debut.

He will welcome three-time IBJJF World Champion Oliveira to the fold. “Pato” joins a growing list of elite grapplers in ONE Championship, and he will surely add extra excitement to the promotion’s submission grappling division.
