John Lineker (28-7): what is making him so successful?

[arridude]

The guy is 5 in a row winning streaks, last defeat dates back off 02/2014 against Ali Bagautinov.

His fighting style is exciting, but at the end of the day everybody knows his gameplan: stand, bang and swinging wild hook to the body and to the head..

I mean, no dubt about his power, and his chin, but i wonder how is possible to be so successful when you are so predictable.

I really wish his winning streaks will keep growing.

Good footwork.

 

[subhuman trash]

He has rock implants in his hands.

 

[Seraldo Babalu]

He leaves his hands down and gets hit a lot. He gets tagged hard in the jaw in most of his exchanges, his chin and power are usually the deciding factor. So I'd say it's speed, power and chin that brings him success, similar to JDS.

Shouts out to @madi

 

[ortizgnp]

He shares last name with Gary Lineker.

 

[KillerElite]

Well he has hands made of nokia phones first off.

 

[ColombianFist]

hard hitter which makes him intimidating (for non grapplers that is)

i can agree with u, i wonder if this qualities could give some chances against Cruz
the only way to beat him is going for the decision bcs look like that chin is unbreakable

Has a good sense for boxing unlike about 90% of the UFC roster. Good takedown defense and good defensive ground skills don't hurt either.

 

[Nightmaree]

He has rock implants in his hands.

you mean Nokia 3310 ?

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He fights at a fast pace, he mixes up to the body a lot more than most fighters, has ridiculous power in his hands and has a low center of gravity and good wrestling, great chin, and is just really freaking strong.

 

[rjmbrd]

This guy truly has murderous power for his division. It's hysterical he was allowed to fight at 125lbs consistently missing weight.

 

[Scheme]

His opponents seem to think they can stand and bang with him

But they shouldn't let him bang, bro

 

[IloveTHIS]

He is able to hit people really, really, really hard in or around the facial area.

 

[Apprenticek]

Rock solid chin and he seriously does not give a fuck.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Power, speed, and pressure. He never allows you to get comfortable and get into a rhythm.

Man I thought he was a fun action fighter but it gonna struggle with taller better defensive strikers but he shut Font down and Ko'd MacDonald in the first. Holy shit.
