UFC Greenville took a big hit hours before the official weigh-ins on Friday morning.
John Lineker, who replaced Cody Stamann on a month’s notice against Rob Font in the co-main event of Saturday night’s card in South Carolina, has pulled out of the bantamweight contest for undisclosed reasons.
Lineker's manager Alex Davis told MMA Fighting that Lineker suffered a cut over his eyebrow on Thursday night and had to pull out of the contest. MMAjunkie first reported the news.
“Hands of Stone” was very vocal on social media three weeks ago, suggesting the promotion to release him if they didn’t like his style enough to give him a fight.
