Friday morning at the ‘UFC Fight Night: Portland’ early weigh-ins, three fighters missed weight ahead of their scheduled fights Saturday evening.<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the three men to miss weight was UFC bantamweight John Lineker<\/a>, who will be\u00a0fighting in the main event of the card against John Dodson. Lineker, who sits at #3 on the UFC’s official bantamweight rankings, now holds the record for the most times missing weight in the history of the UFC.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"John-Lineker\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, Lineker’s manager, Alex Davis, says Lineker made weight days ago, but a “stupid error” caused him to gain it back, and ultimately miss weight.<\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s been happening is he\u2019s been coming and making weight two or three days before, which happened this time,\u201d said Davis, who\u2019s worked with Lineker since his UFC debut in 2012. \u201cSo he\u2019s measuring himself on his scale, he saw he was underweight, and he started consuming not to drop weight too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would have made it, we just ran out of time,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIf we had another hour, he would have done it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the Brazilians had a very hard time making weight because it\u2019s a long flight,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt\u2019s nine hours to Miami, and another seven hours here. So what happens is you dehydrate during the flight. It\u2019s not an excuse. It\u2019s just a problem that exists and we need to handle it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite missing weight, Lineker will fight in the main event against John Dodson, who will be given 20% of Lineker’s purse for the event. <\/p>\n

\"dodson<\/a><\/p>\n

Lineker will be riding a 5-fight win streak into his bout with Dodson, part of his win streak includes a 3-0 stint at bantamweight after being forced to move up in weight by UFC President Dana White after missing weight at flyweight several times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
