Former flyweight contenders John Lineker and John Dodson return to the bantamweight division to headline the UFC Fight Night 96 mixed martial arts (MMA) event later tonight (Sat., Oct. 1, 2016) from inside Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, airing live on FOX Sports 1.
Lineker (28-7) recently plastered Michael McDonald at UFC Fight Night 91 with a vicious first-round knockout. He's been on an absolute tear since making his 135-pound return in 2015 and will look to overpower Dodson with monstrous combinations.
He'll have five rounds to get it done.
Dodson (18-7) lost two title bids opposite current 125-pound champion Demetrious Johnson in 2013 and 2015, but has since defeated Manvel Gamburyan via first-round knockout in his bantamweight debut.
