While not official yet, a possible bantamweight title-eliminator could go down at UFC 207, as ESPN is reporting T.J. Dillashaw will meet John Lineker.

Dillashaw, a former division champion who lost the belt to Dominick Cruz, is 13-3 overall and 9-3 with the UFC. He won the title with a victory over Renan Barao and defended it twice before his loss to Cruz.

Lineker (29-7) is on a six-fight win streak that includes a split decision over John Dodson. After battling weight issues at flyweight, he has scored four consecutive wins at bantamweight.

UFC 207 takes place December 30 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and includes Ronda Rousey vs. Amanda Nunes for the UFC female bantamweight belt and Cruz defending his title vs. Cody Garbrandt.

UFC 207 just got a whole lot bigger.

Former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw and No. 2-ranked bantamweight John Linekar will be going head-to-head on the December card, according to a report from ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.

Dillashaw vs. Dodson joins an already stellar card from the T-Mobile Arena, where the pair of bantamweights will join a card that features their division’s title bout between champion Dominick Cruz defending against No. 6-ranked Cody ‘No Love’ Garbrandt. The card is topped off by the return of ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey who is going back after the women’s 135-pound title in the main event against champion Amanda Nunes.

Dillashaw (13-3) is coming off of a great performance in his unanimous decision win over Raphael Assuncao at UFC 200 this past July, rebounding from his title loss to Dominick Cruz after getting the short end of a split decision.

The Elevation Fight Team member has expressed his displeasure for being snubbed by the UFC for a shot at redemption against Cruz, who will instead defend against Dillashaw’s former teammate Garbrandt, and is looking to make a statement with a victory over ‘Hands Of Stone’.

Lineker (29-7) has been on a terrorizing six-fight win streak that sports two knockouts and one submission, coming off of a split decision victory over John ‘The Magician’ Dodson in their main event clash at UFC Fight Night 96 earlier last month.

If the Brazilian knockout artist is able to trounce the former champ Dillashaw in their meeting next month, ‘Hands Of Stone’ will have made quite the case for the next shot at the 135-pound throne.

UFC 207 goes down live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 30, 2016.
