Former MMA World Champion Returns in Kickboxing Clash at ONE Fight Night 41

ONE Championship has added two more matchups to ONE Fight Night 41, including one featuring John Lineker.

The former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion steps into featherweight kickboxing action against Ben Woolliss, while Brazilian striker Victoria Souza returns to challenge undefeated Canadian star Anastasia Nikolakakos in an atomweight MMA contest. It all goes down live in U.S. primetime on Friday, March 13, from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

ONE Fight Night 41 is headlined by a lightweight Muay Thai showdown between Thailand’s Sinsamut Klinmee and England’s George Jarvis, with ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Champion Tye Ruotolo defending his crown against Polish sensation Pawel Jaworski in the co-main event.

With both additions now confirmed, ONE Fight Night 41 is shaping up as a well-rounded night of action across multiple disciplines, and two of its most intriguing storylines belong to Lineker and Souza.

John Lineker Returns to Kickboxing

John Lineker has been one of the most versatile and entertaining fighters on the ONE Championship roster since making his promotional debut in 2019.

The 35-year-old Brazilian built his reputation with explosive MMA performances, eventually claiming the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Championship in a title run that cemented him among the promotion’s most beloved fighters.

After his title reign ended, John Lineker secured further MMA victories before making the jump to striking competition in 2024, picking up two Muay Thai wins before adding a kickboxing appearance to his resume in 2025.

John Lineker, who has 37 MMA victories, brings the ferocious finishing instincts into the contest. Woolliss, a multiple-time kickboxing champion, represents a stern test in a discipline where John Lineker continues to grow, and the Brazilian’s natural aggression promises to make for an entertaining clash regardless of how it plays out.

New Mom Souza Makes Long-Awaited Return

Few stories on the ONE Fight Night 41 card carry more personal weight than Souza’s. The 28-year-old from Brazil is a three-time Brazilian Kickboxing Champion who arrives having given birth to a baby girl in 2025, making her appearance in Bangkok a significant milestone beyond the sport itself.

Souza, who is John Lineker’s compatriot, enters the contest having won her last two fights, beating the likes of Itsuki Hirata and Alyse Anderson. Now, she will be eager to show that her time away from competition has done nothing to diminish her sharpness.

Standing across from her is Nikolakakos, a Canadian making her ONE Championship debut with a spotless 5-0 record. The undefeated atomweight brings with her the kind of unblemished momentum that can make debut performances unpredictable.

A Stacked ONE Fight Night 41 Card Awaits in Bangkok

Beyond the two late additions, ONE Fight Night 41 delivers a compelling lineup from top to bottom. The main event features former World Title challengers Klinmee of Thailand and England’s Jarvis colliding in a lightweight Muay Thai showdown that has the makings of a barnburner between two hungry strikers eager to force their way back into title contention.

In the co-main event, American superstar Ruotolo defends the ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Championship against Polish sensation Jaworski. Ruotolo makes his return to submission grappling after back-to-back emphatic victories in MMA, and the welterweight titleholder will be looking to reassert his dominance on the mat against a dangerous European challenger.

ONE Fight Night 41 airs live on Prime Video on Friday, March 13. The action begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime subscribers in the U.S. and Canada.
