In just two weeks, John Lineker went from holding a UFC co-main event slot to not having a contract anymore.
The Brazilian stepped up as a late replacement to co-headline UFC Greenville, before pulling out of the contest himself less than 48 hours before the event. Lineker reportedly suffered a cut that forced him out of the fight.
It seems like the UFC wasn’t happy about his withdrawal, because according to MMA Junkie, Lineker has since been released from his UFC contract.
The popular slugger known for his entertaining brawls, fought 16 times with the UFC dating back to 2012.
