UFC Fight Night 88: Almeida vs. Garbrandt goes down in Las Vegas, Nevada this Sunday May 29, meaning it must be weigh-ins day here at LowKickMMA. Undefeated bantamweight killers Thomas Almeida and Cody Garbrandt front the card in Sin City, being described by UFC president Dana White as the ‘sleeper card’ of 2016. Former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao also features on the card, taking on Jeremy Stephens, marking the Brazilian’s first fight at 145 pounds.

For some reason one of the most anticipated fights of the night, Aljamain Sterling vs. Bryan Caraway, is on the Fight Pass prelims, Josh Burkman takes on Paul Felder, Jorge Masvidal battles Lorenz Larkin and the feature prelim bout is Tarec Saffiedine vs. Rick Story at 170 pounds.

There’s Erik Koch vs. Eric Campbell, Jessica Eye vs. Sara McMann, Abel Trujillo vs. Jordan Rinaldi and much more on undoubtedly the most underrated and under hyped card of the year thus far.

UFC Fight Night 83, which is set to go down this upcoming weekend (February 21, 2016) from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has received yet another hit to its main card.

It was reported earlier today (February 15, 2016) that heavy handed Brazilian John “Hands of Stone” Linker has been forced out of his highly anticipated bantamweight matchup with Cody “No Love” Garbrandt due to suffering from a case of Dengue Fever.

Portal do Vale Tudo broke the unfortunate news before Lineker confirmed it himself via his official Twitter account:

Lineker has made waves in the UFC due to his brutal knockout power, compiling a 7-2 Octagon record. However, he has experienced weight cutting issues, and was recently forced to move back up to bantamweight where he scored a submission victory over Francisco Rivera in one of the best fights of 2015 at UFC 191.

“No Love” is also a prospect on the rise in the 135-pound division, possessing a perfect 7-0 record including a 2-0 UFC record. He scored a TKO victory over Marcus Brimage in his promotional debut at UFC 182, and most recently took away a unanimous decision last July over Henry Briones.

The UFC has yet to announce whether or not Garbrandt will remain on the card, but one would have to assume that it’ll be pretty difficult to find a new opponent on less than a week’s notice.
