ONE Championship: Bad Blood
Singapore Indoor Stadium | Singapore
One Championship, the hottest match of all, has reached a thrilling result. And now the co-man event of another ONE Championship: Bad Blood Event is coming true. On February 11, 2022, the Bantamweight title fight between champion Bibaiano Fernandez and former UFC standout John Lineker will headline February's Bed Blood Card from the One Championship.
Fernandes (24-4), a longtime ONE championship champion, holds the record for the most successful title defense in the organization at seven. In fact, Fernandez's last three fights have been against Bellingon. Fernandez dropped the ballot to the Philippine fighter in 2018, then won the title again in a quick rematch the following year. This could be the end of their series, as Fernandez also submitted to Bellingon in 2016. However, due to illegal elbow DQ care by Bellingon, their fourth match was booked in 2019 with the end of their rubber match.
On the other hand, Linker (34-9) has won all three of its fights since joining the ONE Championship in 2019. Most recently, he scored a knockout over Troy Worthen in the ONE on TNT 3 in April last year. The former flyweight championed the UFC title shot for years, but lost to Cory Sandhagen in 2019 and was never promoted. He never fought for gold.
The question arises as to whether Fernandes can force Lincoln to tap, or whether the frightened striker will knock out the old King? Please let us know what you think. Thank you.
Also, the co-headliner of the night is quite interesting and thrilling, with emerging superstar Anatoly Malykhin competing against top-ranked Kirill Grishenko for an interim heavyweight world championship. This match will also be quite thrilling when two invincible fighters will face each other who have never tasted defeat and have knocked down every big and hard wall in front of them in minutes. It remains to be seen who will win and who will lose for the first time. That is, fireworks are guaranteed because the two Titans collide for gold.
In addition, a change has been made in the event as the Philippine team's fighter Olsim (5-3) had to withdraw from the Atom Weight Fight due to injury. Yamaguchi, 38, (21-13-1) will now replace Janelyn Olsim for the main card bout at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Yamaguchi wrote in a secret Instagram post on Wednesday with a video of his training and an eye-catching emoji, "Okay, let's do this."
