Early life

Childhood in Brazil

John Lineker was born on June 12, 1990, in , a coastal city in the state of Paraná, . He grew up in a working-class in , where his father worked as a mechanic to support the household, which included Lineker's two brothers and two adopted sisters. The family's modest socioeconomic background shaped a simple, community-oriented lifestyle, with the children spending much of their time playing outdoors in the streets near their home. Lineker has described his early years as filled with hyperactivity and typical childhood activities, such as playing soccer, , and even chasing horses around the neighborhood, reflecting a carefree yet physically active daily routine in the coastal environment. As a , Lineker faced primarily due to his , with taller peers calling him a "dwarf" and patting him on the head, which made him unpopular at the time. These experiences, though not fully recognized as in his youth, led to frequent fights where he would exchange punches to defend himself, fostering early resilience and a determination to stand up for himself, as his father warned that if he got beaten up in street fights, he would face punishment at home. This adversity sparked his interest in physical activities as a means of building strength and confidence, eventually prompting a brief transition to training around age 12 as a way to channel his energy and respond to the challenges.

Introduction to combat sports

John Lineker's introduction to combat sports began at the age of 12, when he was inspired by the life story of Brazilian champion Acelino "Popó" Freitas, whose journey from humble beginnings to world title success ignited Lineker's dream of becoming a fighter. This motivation was compounded by experiences of during his childhood in , which prompted him to seek out as a means of and empowerment. Lineker began his early training in local gyms in his hometown, where he quickly adapted despite his small and skinny frame. He regularly sparred with older and larger opponents, honing his technique against those who outweighed him significantly. Additionally, around age 14, Lineker worked as a bricklayer's helper, pounding and carrying heavy loads, which he says helped develop his knockout power. These sessions built the foundation of his aggressive, power-oriented fighting style, emphasizing relentless pressure and precise striking. During these youth boxing sessions, Lineker's coaches first recognized his exceptional , with peers noting that his hits felt like stone despite his small size, leading to the origin of his enduring "Hands of Stone" (or "Mão de Pedra" in ). Lineker's initial experiences further reinforced this realization, as he competed in local bouts starting around age 16, accumulating early wins that showcased his developing ability to end fights decisively.

Mixed martial arts career

Early professional bouts (2008–2011)

John Lineker made his professional debut at the age of 18 on September 5, 2008, in a local Brazilian event, where he secured a first-round TKO victory over Mauricio Alves via punches at just 0:56 into the bout at Fight 2. He quickly followed this with another emphatic win on November 11, 2008, knocking out Heriton Alves in the opening round at Fight 3, demonstrating early promise in his striking ability derived from a background. Throughout 2009, Lineker fought ten times in regional Brazilian promotions such as Floripa Fight Championship, Nitrix Show Fight, Predador FC, Blackout FC, FC, and Brazilian Fight League, compiling a 5-5 record that included notable knockouts and decisions alongside setbacks like a first-round submission loss to Adriano Dias and decision defeats to Andre Luis de Souza and Rafael Silva. These experiences highlighted his aggressive style but exposed vulnerabilities, prompting adaptations that integrated basic submissions and takedown defense into his boxing-rooted offense. In 2010, Lineker embarked on a dominant win streak, defeating opponents like Larry Passos Vargas and Israel Silva by decision in events including Full Heroes Battle 2 and K.O. Fight 3, building confidence in his evolving MMA skill set with six straight victories that refined his ability to mix striking with ground control. This momentum carried into 2011, where he went undefeated in seven bouts, showcasing knockout power and versatility, culminating in a 13-fight . A pivotal achievement came on February 18, 2011, at Nitrix Champion Fight 6, as part of the Grand Prix; Lineker advanced through the semifinals with a over Diego D'Avila after three rounds, then claimed the tournament title in the final by TKO'ing Alessandro Cordeiro with punches at 3:44 of the first round. These finishes underscored his improving finishing ability, with the Cordeiro exemplifying his precision punching under fatigue. Lineker's Jungle Fight run further solidified his rise, beginning with a first-round rear-naked choke submission of Renato Velame on April 21, 2011, at 27, followed by a rapid 1:18 of Luiz Carlos Alves Neves via punch on May 21 at 28. He continued with a third-round TKO of on July 30 at 30, before capturing the Championship on September 10, 2011, at 32, via over Iliarde Santos in a hard-fought three-round war. Over the 2008–2011 period, Lineker amassed a 20–5 professional record in regional Brazilian circuits, transforming from a pure striker into a more complete fighter capable of finishes across methods while maintaining his signature knockout threat.

Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure (2012–2019)

Lineker entered the Ultimate Fighting Championship in late 2011 after compiling a 13-fight winning streak on the Brazilian regional scene, capped by capturing the Jungle Fight bantamweight championship. He made his promotional debut on May 5, 2012, at UFC on Fox: Diaz vs. Miller, competing at flyweight against Louis Gaudinot and suffering a second-round technical submission loss via . Despite the setback, Lineker quickly rebounded with a victory over Yasuhiro Urushitani at UFC on Fuel TV 6 later that year, marking his first win inside the . Remaining at flyweight, Lineker built momentum with three straight finishes in 2013: a second-round TKO of Azamat Gashimov at UFC on FX 8, a second-round TKO against Jose Maria Tome (after weighing in four pounds over the limit at ), and a first-round of at UFC Fight Night 30. These performances established him as a dangerous striker in the division, but he encountered his first significant test in February 2014 at , dropping a to top contender . Lineker responded with back-to-back wins later that year and into 2015, securing a third-round TKO over Alptekin Ozkilic at UFC Fight Night 45 and a against Ian McCall at , positioning him as a flyweight prospect. In September 2015, Lineker moved up to the division and notched a first-round submission win via against Francisco Rivera at , signaling a successful transition. He followed with a over at in 2016, then delivered a dominant first-round of Michael McDonald—former title challenger—at UFC Fight Night 91, propelling him into the official UFC top 10. Lineker's momentum peaked in October 2016 with a hard-fought victory over fellow top contender John Dodson in the main event of UFC Fight Night 96, a bout that elevated him to as high as No. 3 in the rankings. This run highlighted his adaptation to the higher and international competition, where he refined his aggressive pressure style against elite opponents while adjusting to frequent travel and language barriers from his Brazilian roots. Lineker's ascent was halted in December 2016 at , where he lost a to former champion in a high-profile matchup, as Dillashaw utilized superior wrestling to control the fight. He regained form with a over at UFC Fight Night 119 in 2017 and a third-round of at in 2018, both victories that reaffirmed his top-10 status and knockout power. However, a loss to rising prospect at UFC Fight Night 150 in April 2019 marked the end of his UFC run. Over seven years, Lineker compiled an overall UFC record of 12-4, with six of those wins coming at . Throughout his tenure, Lineker faced ongoing challenges with , missing the flyweight or limit five times across multiple camps, which led to fines, bouts, and periods of inactivity due to injuries and rehydration issues. After the Sandhagen defeat and subsequent withdrawal from a scheduled bout, Lineker publicly requested either a new fight booking or his release in May 2019, citing frustration over limited opportunities. The UFC granted his release on July 2, 2019, ending his time with the promotion amid these weight-related hurdles and a cooling performance trend.

ONE Championship era (2019–2024)

Lineker made his ONE Championship debut on October 25, 2019, defeating Muin Gafurov by after three rounds of aggressive striking exchanges at ONE: Dawn of Valor. Following this, he secured a second-round TKO victory over former ONE Interim Champion on October 30, 2020, via punches at ONE: Inside the Matrix 3, earning him the top spot in the rankings. His momentum continued with a first-round of Troy Worthen on April 21, 2021, at ONE on TNT 3, dropping his opponent with a powerful right hand just 4:35 into the bout. These quick finishes, combined with his UFC tenure, positioned Lineker as the leading contender for the ONE World Championship. On March 11, 2022, at ONE: Lights Out, Lineker challenged longtime champion and captured the title with a second-round via left hand at 3:40, ending Fernandes' dominant reign in emphatic fashion. His first title defense came against Fabricio on October 21, 2022, at ONE on Prime Video 3, but the bout ended in a no contest at 2:44 of the third round due to an accidental low blow that left Lineker unable to continue. In the highly anticipated rematch on February 24, 2023, at , reclaimed the belt with a fourth-round TKO victory after Lineker's corner stopped the fight at 5:00 amid accumulating damage. Undeterred, Lineker began his comeback with a dramatic third-round of Jae Woong Kim on August 4, 2023, at , landing a flurry of punches with just four seconds remaining to secure the win at 4:56. He followed this with a victory over second-ranked on September 29, 2023, at , outstriking his opponent over three rounds to reestablish himself as a top contender. Lineker's ONE MMA run concluded on January 28, 2024, at , where he stepped in on short notice as an openweight replacement for but was submitted by via rear-naked choke at 3:00 of the first round. This loss prompted Lineker to shift focus toward striking arts competitions, marking the end of his active MMA tenure in ONE. Over nine bouts from to 2024, Lineker compiled a 6-2 record with one no contest, including the brief championship reign.

Striking arts career

Muay Thai competitions (2024–present)

Lineker made his professional debut on September 6, 2024, at ONE 168: Denver, defeating Asa Ten Pow via in the second round with a series of powerful strikes that overwhelmed the American fighter. His renowned power from an MMA background proved a seamless carryover, allowing him to dictate the pace early and secure the finish. Building momentum, Lineker faced Alexey Balyko on October 4, 2024, at ONE Fight Night 25 in , where he delivered a devastating left hook just 2:12 into the first round, showcasing his ability to adapt punches and combinations to Muay Thai's allowance for elbows and knees. This victory highlighted his evolving striking arsenal, as he incorporated clinch pressure while maintaining aggressive forward movement against a durable opponent. Lineker encountered his first professional Muay Thai defeat on January 10, 2025, at ONE Fight Night 27, dropping a to Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai in a bout at Lumpinee Stadium. The loss underscored adaptation challenges, particularly 's extended clinch exchanges, knee strikes, and 10-point must scoring system—elements less emphasized in MMA—where Kulabdam's technical volume and damage accumulation proved decisive despite Lineker's early aggression and a knockdown. As of November 2025, Lineker maintains a 2-1 professional Muay Thai record under ONE Championship. To elevate his game, he has explored intensive training adjustments, including potential relocation to Thailand for specialized camps focused on clinch work and endurance under full Muay Thai rules. Lineker has voiced ambitions to pursue the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship, aiming for high-profile bouts to position himself as a contender in the division.

Kickboxing debut and bouts (2025–present)

Lineker made his professional kickboxing debut on March 23, 2025, at ONE 172 in Saitama, , facing former ONE Kickboxing World Champion in a three-round bout. The fight was a high-paced striking exchange, with Lineker pressing forward aggressively using his signature power punches, while Akimoto countered with precise kicks and knees. Despite a controversial moment where Lineker complained about an illegal clinch by Akimoto, the bout went the distance, ending in a victory for Akimoto (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The ruleset presented distinct challenges for Lineker, who transitioned from MMA—where and are integral—and recent bouts that allow and elbows. Under ONE's format, the absence of clinch work and ground elements forced Lineker to rely solely on stand-up striking without his usual wrestling transitions or close-range control, limiting his ability to dictate pace against Akimoto's technical footwork. This adaptation highlighted the discipline's emphasis on pure exchanges, differing markedly from the multifaceted strategies Lineker employed in MMA and the clinch-heavy rules he had recently navigated successfully. Following the debut, Lineker reflected on the loss as a learning experience in a multi-sport career, emphasizing his intent to stay active through striking bouts for while awaiting an MMA title rematch opportunity in . As a father of six, he viewed the kickboxing outing as a way to generate income without idling, drawing confidence from prior knockouts that honed his stand-up prowess. With a record of 0-1 as of mid-2025, Lineker expressed ambitions to contend in the division or pursue hybrid competitions, while prioritizing a return to MMA against Fabricio Andrade.

He has occasionally traveled abroad for specialized camps, such as a temporary stint in from September 2024 to January 2025, but prioritizes returning to his family in to maintain stability.
