UFC adds Lineker vs. Garbrandt to Pittsburgh event

Today the UFC announced two more fights for the upcoming event at the Consol Energy Center that was announced earlier this month.

Up and coming bantamweight Cody Garbrandt (7-0) takes on former flyweight John Lineker (26-7) in a fight that could lead to getting closer to the top ten of that division for the winner. Garbrandt has two wins in the UFC with a TKO in his debut over Marcus Brimage and a decision win over Enrique Briones this past July.

Lineker won his bantamweight debut via first-round submission this past September against Francisco Rivera, and is 7-2 overall in the UFC thus far.
