Pick an axiom — close mouths don’t get fed, squeaky wheel gets the grease, you never know if you don’t ask. Whichever one you select, it applies to John Lineker’s present situation.
Simply put, the Brazilian bantamweight wants to fight. A lot. Starting now.
And while he didn’t initially have something set up after his April loss to Cory Sandhagen, he got his wish when Cody Stamann was forced out of his Saturday bout with Rob Font. Now it’s Lineker vs. Font in a rematch that serves as the co-main event of this weekend’s debut venture to Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.
