Fernandes continued: "People forget. They say ‘Oh Bibi is a jiu-jitsu guy. Bibi is a wrestling guy.’ If you watch my fight again, nobody dropped John Lineker. I was the first one." The 42-year-old is scheduled to face rising Filipino contender and No.5-ranked bantamweight at ONE on Prime Video 4. It's a critical match for Fernandes' hopes of earning another title shot.
