It's a bantamweight slugfest when Lineker debuts in his new 135-pound home against "Cisco."
Former Flyweight John Lineker (25-7) is bringing his "Hands of Stone" to the Bantamweight division tonight (Sat. Sept. 5, 2015), facing No. 12-ranked Francisco Rivera 11-4-(1) at the UFC 191 pay-per-view (PPV).
Lineker went 6-2 in UFC as a flyweight, collapsing the likes of Ian McCall and Alptekin Ozkilic, before weight issues had his boss Dana White force him to move up a division. The 25-year-old's last victory came against the former 125-pound title challenger McCall back in January and it was one that he feels granted him a shot at 125-pound king Demetrious Johnson.
