Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC Fight Night 96’s John Lineker

Aggressive knockout artist, John Lineker, is set to throw down with fellow power puncher, John Dodson, this Saturday (Oct. 1, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 96 inside Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.

Lineker is one of the most unlikely contenders in recent times. The Brazilian is predictable, walks with the flat-feet of a man twice his size, and is far smaller than most of the athletes in his division. So far, however, none of that has mattered, as Lineker continues to melt men with his hands. This time around, Lineker will face a fellow former Flyweight contender in Dodson.
