Is Lineker done if he misses weight again?

[mccallievols]

i've never heard of a fighter being given this many chances.

did rumble even get 4 strikes?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

He is marketable. I think that UFC is going to "convince" him to fight at 135.

 

[kashmir]

I hope so but the division is so shallow Dana might decide to keep him.

 

[FenoxSky]

They'll be sending his ass to 135.

 

[JustinvR]

He will be fighting at 135 where he will be criminally undersized.

 

[Steve08]

If he misses weight and loses then he's probably cut, but if he misses and wins then I'd reckon they just wouldn't let him try to make 125 anymore.

 

[mccallievols]

the look on dana's face will be pretty hilarious if lineker does indeed eff this up again

 

[Steve08]

Oh and Rumble missed three times, but he also lost two of those fights so I think they would be a bit more lenient with Lineker (I'm sure it would be different if he had more losses in the UFC though).

Had Rumble beat Belfort you can bet they would have kept him too.

 

[Organic Damage]

If he misses weight and loses then he's probably cut, but if he misses and wins then I'd reckon they just wouldn't let him try to make 125 anymore.

If you're winning and winning in exciting fashion, there's a lot Uncle Dana will forgive.

Dunno as he'll ever see a title shot if he can't make weight though...

well 125 badly needs the contenders.

He misses weight he will probably be given the ultimatum to move to 135 or get cut.

Lineker has also missed weight 3 out of 5 times.

Rumble missed 2 out of 10 before missing the 3rd in his 11th before getting cut.

 

[MestizoIV]

I sure hope so

 

[VorTeX Raptor]

I dont think so. Dana seems to like him

 

[Torrid]

I doubt he'll be done with the organization. Only if he misses weight again, goes out there, gasses hard, and puts up a complete stall-fest. I only think he's capable of the first part, not the latter instances. He'll definitely only get calls from the match-maker for BW bouts afterwards though.

misses and wins=moved to 135
misses and loses=cut

 

[t00br00tal]

misses and wines=moved to 135
misses and loses=cut

But what if he beers?

 

[Danespina]

Lineker and Bagautinov have looked awesome. I really hope there's no weight issues so that a new contender can emerge.

 

[BionicCommando]

But what if he beers?

Then he becomes "Hands of Stone Cold" John Lineker.

I agree. Enough is enough. If he misses weight again and loses, he should be cut. No more excuses.
