Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-10-28, disappointing fight between John Lineker and Marlon Vera: it gets two stars.John Lineker entered this fight with a record of 29-8-0 (59% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.7 bantamweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Cody Garbrandt) but he comes off the loss against TJ Dillashaw (=Dillashaw vs Lineker); before this bout he had beat John Dodson (=Lineker vs Dodson).
His opponent, the black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Marlon Vera, has a mma record of 10-3-1 (80% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class. He was defeated by Davey Grant last year but then he has beat Ning Guangyou, Brad Pickett and Brian Kelleher. Lineker vs Vera is on the undercard of Derek Brunson vs Lyoto Machida – UFC Fight Night 119. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Lineker was like the top 5 ranked and Vera was not even ranked in the UFC … but that fight was so close and if Vera was a bit more busy ….
rankings doesn’t matter :)
