“The World” lost.
Former ONE Championship Bantamweight champion and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran John Lineker suffered a unanimous decision loss to Ahavat Gordon in the main event of GFN 1: Israel vs. The World this morning (Mon., July 27, 2026) inside Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The fight was contested under Muay Thai rules.
And like most Lineker fights, it turned into a wild brawl.
The bout was ultra-competitive, with both men landing several heavy shots throughout the fight. Lineker had his moments and brought his trademark power, but Gordon did enough across the rounds to earn the unanimous decision win.

Lineker was released from ONE Championship earlier this year after a failed drug test. While “Hands of Stone” did win a one-off boxing match last month against Rogerio Ferreira , his recent run in striking-only sports has not gone well.
The 35-year-old has now lost his last four fights across Muay Thai and kickboxing.
Gordon, meanwhile, remains undefeated while competing solely in Muay Thai.
Three other former UFC fighters also competed on the card.
In the first fight of the “Triple Main Event,” former UFC Bantamweight Jose Alberto Quinonez was knocked out in less than one minute by Kibedy Gordon .

Former UFC veterans Lando Vannata and Natan Levy also collided, with Vannata taking home a split decision win. “Groovy” was the only American fighter to compete on the card, and he was also the only American to win.

In the end, Israel defeated “The World” by a final score of 10-2.
So, yeah, the gimmick worked.
