John Lineker Silences Kevin Belingon at One: Inside the Matrix 3

One Championship broadcasted the tape-delayed
third part of the “Inside the Matrix” series on Nov. 13.

In the main event of
One: Inside the Matrix 3
, Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran John
Lineker
faced Kevin
Belingon
in the bantamweight division. The contenders put on a
fistfight in the first round, which saw many exchanges between
Lineker and the former champ. The Brazilian had some success with
his uppercuts that tested Belingon’s chin more than once. “The
Silencer” attempted to quell Lineker’s aggressiveness with his
wushu style, but other than a few flashy kicks, his strategy
largely didn’t pan out.

In the second stanza, the Brazilian brawler kept landing on
Belingon’s head and body with a plethora of punches. Just over a
minute into the round, “Hands of Stone” caught Belingon with one of
his uppercuts, forcing “The Silencer” to take a knee. The Brazilian
fighter finished the contest with a few follow-up punches at 1:16.
In the post-fight interview, Lineker called out the current
divisional champion Bibiano
Fernandes
.

The co-main event pitted former flyweight champion Geje
Eustaquio
against Min Jong
Song
. The contenders engaged in a bout that saw Eustaquio
circling around “The Running Man,” attacking from different angles
with his boxing combinations. The unorthodox Korean fighter
attempted to counter the shots, but he could do nothing to prevent
his opponent from landing constantly. In the third, Song pushed the
pace on the feet before dragging the fight to the ground, where the
Korean tested “Gravity” with some submissions. Even though nothing
landed, they provided Song with his best moments in the contest.
Eventually, all three judges rewarded Eustaquio with a
well-deserved unanimous decision victory.

Earlier on the card, Murad
Ramazanov
earned a unanimous decision victory over Hiroyuki
Tetsuka
. Elsewhere, Fan Rong
spoiled the MMA debut of Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Yuri Simoes
by taking a unanimous decision after three hard-fought rounds. In
the first battle on the card, Koha Minowa
edged Lito
Adiwang
by split verdict.
