Bantamweights Michael McDonald and John Lineker have taken over the main event role for UFC Fight Night 91.

A planned headline fight pitting Tony Ferguson vs. Mike Chiesa was scrapped when Chiesa bowed out due to a back injury. Ferguson will remain on the card, taking on newcomer Landon Vannata.

McDonald (17-3) and Lineker (27-7) have a combined Octagon record of 14-4. They are both right on the edge of contention in the stacked bantamweight division.

Vannata (8-0) will try to spoil the run put together by Ferguson (20-3), who has gone 10-1 in his UFC career.

UFC Fight Night 91 takes place July 13 from the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

It’s hardly a secret that mixed martial arts (MMA) fans watch the UFC for its heart-pumping knockouts that its most revered stars produce in high-pressure situations.

True, some may watch the UFC for its combination of power and skill, and others still may tune in for their own appreciation of wrestling and/or grappling, but if you were to poll every fight fan out there, you’d most likely receive an overwhelming response that most fans love MMA for the exhilarating knockouts.

That makes the fighters who often knock their opponents out obvious fan favorites, and indeed many have died by the sword attempting to become one of these crowd-pleasing stars. The ones who actually made it through and achieved greatness thanks to their fists sit as some the shining lights of the sport, with spoils, adoration, and fear all coming in droves.

It takes a special kind of fighter to sit among the heaviest hitters in the UFC. Here are the 12 most powerful punchers in the UFC right now.

Four Fights For Dominick Cruz To Take Next

Last weekend (Sat., June 4, 2016) Dominick Cruz once again proved to the MMA community why he is widely considered to be the best bantamweight to have ever competed inside the Octagon.

In the co-main event of UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California, Cruz coasted to a decisive decision victory over longtime rival Urijah Faber, ending the last chapter in their historic rivalry and defending his 135-pound strap in the process.

After battling a seemingly never-ending string of injuries that kept him out of action for almost four years, Cruz has clearly returned to form after re-capturing the title from ex-champion TJ Dillashaw in his return last January and once again toppling “The California Kid” last night.

Luckily for “The Dominator”, the once-barren bantamweight division is now booming with contenders, and he’ll have a few top-flight challenges waiting for him in the near future.

Let’s take a look at four possible fights for Cruz to take next.

One-time UFC title contender Michael McDonald will make his second appearance inside the Octagon this year after spending two years on the sidelines when he returns against John Lineker at UFC Fight Night 91.

The bantamweight contest will serve as the co-main event for the UFC’s debut in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on July 13.

He is a two-time “Fight of the Night” winner and “Submission of the Night” bonus winner. In all, McDonald has earned six fight-night bonuses.

Lineker (27-7) is on a four-fight win streak and is 8-1 over his last nine, losing only via decision to former UFC title contender Ali Bagautinov. Earlier this month he defeated Rob Font via decision.

UFC Fight Night 91 is headlined by Tony Ferguson vs. Michael Chiesa in a lightweight showdown.
