Zabit Magomedsharipov (15-1) is in need of a new opponent at UFC 228 after Yair Rodriguez withdrew from injury. The rising featherweight star is on an 11-fight winning streak, with three of those wins coming inside the Octagon.
As we wait and see if Magomedsharipov will remain on the card, there’s one very notable name who’s volunteered to fight him. Just sit back for a few seconds and visualize a staredown between the 6’1” Zabit and a 5’3” John Lineker.
Zabit has since responded, and it looks like interest is mutual, although Sean Shelby doesn’t seem to be too enthused.
