On Saturday night, former UFC flyweights John Lineker and John Dodson will battle it out to see who gets one step closer to bantamweight gold.
This fight is a marquee match up for the 135-pound division and it will unfold in the main event of UFC Fight Night 96 in Portland, Ore.
Lineker moved up to the 135-pound division a year ago and since has won three straight in impressive fashion. The Brazilian has quickly climbed up the rankings, and now sits at No. three in the division. Meanwhile, Dodson moved to bantamweight on April, defeating MMA veteran Manny Gamburyan via first-round technical knockout at UFC on FOX 19.
