Reinier de Ridder and John Lineker Set to Defend ONE Championship Gold at ONE on Prime Video 3

ONE Championship’s third spectacle on Prime Video, set to go down next month, will be headlined by two captivating World Title fights.

On October 21, ONE on Prime Video 3 will bring nonstop martial arts action to the Singapore Indoor Stadium once again, with two-division king De Ridder putting his middleweight throne on the line for the third time this year against Russian challenger Shamil Abdulaev in the banner fight.  

Reinier de Ridder will look to dominate another contender at ONE on Prime Video 3

De Ridder remains unbeaten inside the Circle and currently boasts a staggering MMA record of 16-0 while maintaining a highly impressive 87.5 percent finishing rate in the all-encompassing sport.

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt has defeated warriors from various backgrounds to rightfully claim both the ONE Middleweight World Champion and ONE Light Heavyweight World Championships. 

In his most recent outing, at ONE 159 this past July, “The Dutch Knight” overcame an early scare to submit former middleweight kingpin Vitaly Bigdash with an inverted triangle choke.

Despite his divisional dominance, his upcoming opponent will be far from a walk in the park. Abdulaev holds a respectable record of 13-1 record and is currently on a triple back-to-back knockout victory run.

The dangerous slugger may be making his debut in the Circle against De Ridder, but he’ll be hoping to get his campaign off to a flying start by handing his Dutch rival his first loss while snatching the divisional strap in the process.

John Lineker will face Fabricio Andrade for his first title defense

Directly before that World Title drama unfolds, combat sports fans will be treated to another guaranteed barnburner in the co-main event.

Newly crowned ONE Bantamweight World Champion John “Hands of Stone” Lineker will have his eyes locked on a successful first World Title defense when he takes on #2-ranked contender Fabricio “Wonder Boy” Andrade. 

Both bantamweight stars have been on a destructive path since they inked their deal with ONE, and this Brazil vs. Brazil battle is sure to produce fireworks from the opening bell.

Lineker has rattled off four consecutive victories, with three opponents succumbing to his “Hands of Stone”. In his most recent outing, the knockout specialist finished longtime divisional king Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes to claim the bantamweight crown.

However, his compatriot, Andrade, has seemed near-unstoppable too. 

The surging upstart is riding a seven-match winning streak and, like Lineker, owns an undefeated slate inside the Circle.
