John “Hands of Stone” Lineker and Victoria “Vick” Souza headline a pair of new additions to ONE Fight Night 41 on Prime Video, broadcasting live in U.S. primetime on March 13 from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

Lineker squares off with Ben Woolliss in featherweight kickboxing, while Souza returns to atomweight MMA action against undefeated Canadian Anastasia Nikolakakos.

Lineker opens his 2026 account looking to bounce back after setbacks against Ratchasiesan Laochokcharoen in Muay Thai and former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Hiroki Akimoto in kickboxing.

Those results snapped a two-fight finishing streak that saw the former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion knock out Asa Ten Pow and Alexey Balyko — the latter becoming the first person ever to finish Balyko inside ONE Championship.

The 35-year-old Brazilian brings 22 finishes from 37 victories in MMA alone, and that concussive power has translated seamlessly to the striking arts. Woolliss makes his ONE debut here, bringing an explosive yet technical game from Grimsby that could test the Brazilian’s chin in a division where Lineker is still establishing himself.

Victoria Souza returns after welcoming first child

Victoria Souza steps back into the ring chasing a third consecutive win and, with it, a step closer to a shot at the ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Championship.

The 28-year-old three-time Brazilian Kickboxing Champion last competed in September 2024, outpointing Alyse Anderson across three rounds before stepping away to welcome her first child — a baby girl — born in June 2025.

Her two-fight run before the break was nothing short of remarkable. Souza made history in June 2024 by becoming the first fighter to submit Itsuki Hirata, finishing the Japanese standout with a guillotine choke in 91 seconds. The fire that produced those results has not dimmed during her time away.

Standing across from her is Anastasia Nikolakakos, a 5-0 Canadian who arrives at ONE with three knockouts on her record. The undefeated newcomer is looking to make an immediate statement, and Souza is exactly the kind of opponent that would do that.
