John Lineker comes out on the right side of epic with John Dodson

Did he earn a title shot with his night’s work in Portland?

JOHN LINEKER TOOK a big step towards a UFC title shot a split-decision win over John Dodson last night.

Bantamweight Lineker won the five-round headliner  48-47 in Portland.

“I trained very hard for this fight, I came here for five rounds, I got one round after the other, that’s the way I like to fight,” Lineker said.

“I’m a fighter, I’ll fight anybody they put in front of me, but I think I deserve Dominick Cruz. It’s my turn now.”

In the co-main event, Alex Oliveira stopped Will Brooks by TKO in the second round.

Oliveira missed the weight and the pair faced off at a catchweight.

    It’s hard to argue that Ferguson was wrong to get rid of him, they went on to win 3 titles in a row and a champions league after he got rid of him.

    He knows what he’s doing. This is the kind of stuff these shows like – in the bland media world the more critical he can be the more box office he becomes. He’s always been good at managing his income, if not his football teams

    He is not wrong when he says Ferguson put himself before the club. Remember back to the bitter feud with John magnier over rock of gilbratar. Ferguson put his own interests ahead of the club that time

    Keane was one of the greatest Irish players ever and prob the most successful in terms of trophies but he is a seriously bitter man. Time to move on Roy

    What a bitter g##shite he is. He hates everyone. And everyone is wrong. Why not explain to Irish fans what went wrong while assistant manager? I’m sure it’s not his fault anyways
