Next Saturday night in Bangkok just got a whole lot more interesting.
ONE Championship has added two more bouts to the March 14 card at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion John Lineker facing K-1 Champion Ben Woolliss in a featherweight kickboxing contest, and Victoria Souza returning from maternity leave to take on undefeated Canadian star Anastasia Nikolakakos in an atomweight MMA clash.
Lineker's name on any fight card immediately raises the stakes. The 35-year-old Brazilian earned the nickname "Hands of Stone" through years of producing some of the most violent and memorable performances in ONE Championship history.
He arrived in the promotion in 2019 and worked his way to the top of the bantamweight MMA division, claiming the World Title in the kind of barnburner finish that has defined his career.
Across 37 professional MMA wins and an 8-4 ONE record with 6 finishes, he has consistently delivered for fight fans regardless of the circumstances.
His recent foray into striking disciplines has seen him compete in both Muay Thai and kickboxing, and two decision losses in 2025 have sharpened his hunger heading into this featherweight kickboxing date with Woolliss, a two-time K-1 Champion who represents a genuine test of where Lineker stands in the striking world.
The second addition brings its own compelling story. Souza stepped away from competition to welcome a baby girl into the world, and her return to the ring carries the kind of emotional weight that resonates far beyond the sport.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is a three-time Brazilian Kickboxing Champion who has kept her competitive record intact with back-to-back wins, and she will need every bit of her experience against Nikolakakos.
The Canadian arrives in Bangkok for her ONE debut with a spotless 5-0 record and the confidence of a fighter who has yet to taste defeat at any level of competition.
