He appeared to be on the verge of getting knocked out for the first time in his career midway through the third round. While ‘Hands of Stone’ is used to being at a size and reach disadvantage for most of his storied MMA career, Andrade was able to neutralize his power by keeping him at bay with powerful leg and body kicks. Unable to get into his striking range, Lineker had trouble finding a home for those nuclear fists of his, especially in the early goings of the fight. John Lineker had this to say during the event’s post-fight presser: “I usually don't have a hard time going up against taller guys or guys with a bigger wingspan, but his kicks and knees worried me a little, and that's why I didn't get into his range that much. I could have explored the low kicks more to disrupt his game and come in with my boxing, but his jabs were getting in and keeping me away from him.” On the rare occasions that Lineker was able to slip past the 25-year-old’s lightning-quick jabs, he was still wary of Andrade’s soul-crushing knees. That signature knee to the body, of course, almost spelled his demise in the third round, up until the follow-up blow hit low and put a halt to the beating. Surprisingly, the head-hunting Brazilian even resorted to performing several takedown attempts throughout the match, particularly after getting tagged early in round one. If John Lineker , he must find a way to overcome his length or risk falling into the same trap once more.
