Ahead of his fight in the main event against John Dodson at the UFC Fight Night 96 event in Portland, Oregon next weekend, John Lineker is featured in the latest “Fight Night Portland Free Fight” video.
Featured above is the complete UFC 191 bout between Lineker and Francisco Rivera.
John Lineker boasts an impressive 9-2 record in the UFC including this first-round submission victory over Francisco Rivera last year. Lineker faces John Dodson in the main event of Fight Night Portland on Saturday, October 1 on FS1.
It looks like the reason Daniel Cormier is insisting on a December showdown at UFC 207 for his next title defense when his rumored opponent, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is calling for a November showdown at UFC 205 is because of non-fighting commitments that D.C. has lined up.
Apparently Cormier has signed on to join Jon Anik in calling the UFC Fight Night 96 event in Portland, Oregon in October. The show is scheduled to feature John Dodson vs. John Lineker in a Bantamweight main event.
“I don’t control the fights,” D.C. told FOX Sports. “I show up when they tell me. I said, ‘OK, we can fight, but it’s not going to be November.’ I’ve got this play-by-play gig and other things to do before I start training. You can ask anybody — when I start training, there’s no more ‘UFC Tonight.’ I just start training. I want 10, 12 weeks to feel confident about a fight.”
UFC Fight Night 96 is scheduled to take place on October 1, 2016 in Portland, Oregon, and will air live on FOX Sports 1 (FS1).

UFC announced the official main event for their upcoming return to Portland, Oregon, as John Lineker and John Dodson will meet in the headline spot at UFC Fight Night 96.
Scheduled to take place on October 1st, Lineker-Dodson will headline the FS1 event, which emanates from the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
UFC wrote the following regarding the Lineker-Dodson main event:
“Top bantamweight contenders will square off in Portland, Oregon on Oct. 1, as hard-hitting John Lineker faces “The Magician” John Dodson in a five-round main event at Moda Center. The UFC Fight Night card will air on FOX Sports 1. Tickets go on sale on Friday, Aug. 26.
“New Mexico’s Dodson, a former Ultimate Fighter winner, is a two-time world title challenger at 125 pounds who returned to bantamweight in April with a blistering 37-second knockout of Manny Gamburyan. Now ranked ninth at 135 pounds, Dodson will face another ex-flyweight standout in Brazil’s Lineker, who has won three straight in his bantamweight run. Fresh off a Performance of the Night knockout of Michael McDonald, the No. 5-ranked “Hands of Stone” could make another statement with a victory in October.”
