John Lineker continued his assault on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight division, edging out John Dodson in a highly-entertaining five-round fight in the headlining bout at last night's (Sat., Oct. 1, 2016) UFC Fight Night 96 in Portland, Oregon.
In doing so, "Hands of Stone" picked up consecutive win number six, including reeling of four straight victories since moving back up to 135 pounds. Not only did Lineker show why he's so dangerous, keeping Dodson on his heels going back for the majority of the fight to avoid his haymakers, but he also proved he can take a licking and keep on ticking.
