Some people say lower-weight fighters aren’t exciting. As UFC Fight Night 96 this Saturday night (Oct. 1, 2016) will prove, those people are not terribly bright.
Brawler supreme John Lineker and former Flyweight title contender John Dodson will do battle this weekend inside Moda Center in Portland, Ore., looking to build off of their recent brutal knockout victories. In addition, Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira returns to the Lightweight division against former Bellator MMA champion Will Brooks, while Josh Burkman welcomes King of the Cage veteran Zak Ottow to the Octagon.
The four-fight main card features a four-fight "Prelims" undercard lead-in on the same network, FOX Sports 1 (check out the Fight Pass portion here).
