Jon Lineker is getting another chance to step into the octagon as he’ll take on Rob Font at UFC Greenville.
Font was originally slated to fight Cody Stamann, but injury forced the bantamweight to withdraw from the bout. The former CES Featherweight Champion is coming off a win over Sergio Pettis back in December 2018. Font’s current professional MMA record is 16 wins and 4 losses.
In their first encounter at UFC 198, Lineker was able to walk away victorious via unanimous decision. Since then, Lineker has had more hits than misses as he’s defeated John Dodson, Marlon Vera, Brian Kelleher, and Michael McDonald. The bantamweight is coming off a loss to Cory Sandhagen back in April 2019. Lineker’s current professional record is 31 wins and 9 losses.
