Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight title contender, John Dodson, will throw down with Brazilian brawler, John Lineker, this Saturday (Oct. 1, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 96 inside Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
Dodson is in an interesting position. His attempts to capture the Flyweight strap came up short due to the dominance of "Mighty Mouse," but Dodson honestly looked a bit flat in his last couple appearances.
Luckily, a change of scenery proved to benefit "The Magician," as he ran through Manny Gamburyan in less than a minute. That’s a solid first step, but this bout is Dodson’s chance to prove himself a contender at 135 lbs.
