Unfortunately, the event has since been postponed and Lineker has yet to receive any updates on when it may happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bibiano is a great fighter, he is the champion,&#8221; Lineker said. &#8220;We think that he&#8217;s gonna try and take the fight down, but we are training all day, everything. Boxing, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, we are preparing to defend the takedown attempts, and keep the fight on track. He talks and I talk, but the true history is gonna happen in the cage and I&#8217;m very prepared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an honor for me to be fighting for the title shot on one of the greatest events in the world.
