UFC 207 Media Day Scrum: John Lineker
John Lineker is a bad man.

The Brazilian knockout artist has been leveling his opposition at a steady clip since moving into the bantamweight ranks, and Lineker believes there's only one more test in his path before he fights for championship gold. Standing in his way will be former titleholder T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 207 this Friday night in what will absolutely serve as the unofficial No. 1 contender bout in the 135-pound ranks.

While Lineker has struggled to make weight in the past and those incidents have cost him, "Hands of Stone" is confident the only thing left to do now is bring the pain on Friday night.
