People love Brazilian bantamweight John Lineker (31-8 MMA, 12-3 UFC). Since 2012, Lineker has blessed the UFC audience with a style that mainly seems to consists of winging hooks until someone goes down.
Lineker’s fan-friendly, “punch first ask questions later” style has earned him an unofficial nickname – “John F***ing Lineker”, or “JFL” for short. You will hear this much more often than his listed nickname of “Hands of Stone”, a tribute to boxing legend Roberto Duran.
While I’m thankful JFL is commonly worshipped, it is a bit disappointing to sometimes see his skill set minimized.
