Kelleher Looking To Climb Ranks With Win Over Stamann

A bantamweight bout between Brian Kelleher and Cody Stamann is the latest addition to the upcoming UFC 250 pay-per-view event on June 6.

The matchup was confirmed to MMA Junkie following an initial report from BJPenn.com. An official announcement should be expected soon.

Kelleher is coming off an impressive knockout win over Hunter Azure at UFC Jacksonville earlier this month and will have a short layoff as he looks to build further momentum. He is currently on a two-fight winning streak and has also won four of his last six outings overall with the UFC.

Stamann, meanwhile, is coming off a controversial majority decision draw with Song Yadong which some observers felt he should have won. In total, the No. 12-ranked bantamweight contender is 4-1-1 with the UFC since signing with them in 2017.

UFC 250 takes place June 6 and is expected to be held at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas pending the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s meeting tomorrow discussing the return of professional sports. The event will be headlined by a women’s featherweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer.

Here is how the card looks at the time of writing:

Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer
Raphael Assuncao vs. Cody Garbrandt
Charles Byrd vs. Maki Pitolo
Ian Heinisch vs. Gerald Meerschaert
Jussier Formiga vs. Alex Perez
Devin Clark vs. Alonzo Menifield
Neil Magny vs. Anthony Rocco Martin
Cory Sandhagen vs. Aljamain Sterling
Sean O’Malley vs. Eddie Wineland
Alex Caceres vs. Chase Hooper
Brian Kelleher vs. Cody Stamann

John Lineker Wants Top Five Opponent Or Title Fight Next

Following UFC 224, John Lineker has made it clear as to what he would like next…

Heavy handed bantamweight contender John Lineker picked up his second consecutive victory last night, scoring a third-round knockout over Brian Kelleher. The win didn’t come easily, however, as Lineker actually admitted that he was ‘surprised’ by how durable the Long Island native is:

“I sure was surprised,” Lineker told MMAjunkie. “I threw everything I had at him, and he absorbed it all.

“At the end of the first round, I said, ‘What now?’”

With the win, Lineker has now won four of his last five bouts and should be in line for a big fight next. The only problem, however, is that the majority of the fighters ranked ahead of him are tied up.

For example, No. 4-ranked Jimmie Rivera is scheduled to take on No. 5-ranked Marlon Moraes in the main event of UFC Fight Night 131 on June 1 in Utica, New York.

Moving on, No. 3-ranked Raphael Assuncao is set to take on Rob Font at July 7’s UFC 226 from Las Vegas, Nevada, while No. 2-ranked Dominick Cruz has been dealing with an injury and No. 1-ranked Cody Garbrandt is set to rematch champion TJ Dillashaw at UFC 227 in August.

With that being said, options are limited for “Hands of Stone”, but he’s made it clear that he’s interested in a big fight nonetheless:

“Ranked or not ranked, he showed how tough he is,” Lineker said. “He sold the fight very well. I think the UFC will see this fight and will think that I deserve to get a top-five (opponent) and a title shot.”

Who would you like to see Lineker take on next?
