Through a post on Twitter, Lineker said that he agreed with the new organization: “I will answer all questions about myself in the ring. People will change the channel to watch me fight. I will continue doing what I love! Fight and put on a show. Thank you for supporting me”, wrote the fighter, marking the profile of businessman Alex Davis, and ONE FC.

If he succeeds in the ONE bantamweight division, Lineker could get a 100% Brazilian title fight. This is because the current owner of the title is Manauara Bibiano Fernandes, who more than once refused to sign with the UFC to stay on the Asian show.

However, in the week of the attraction, he cut his eyebrow and forced the postponement of the duel against Rob font. The situation angered the organization, which decided to release Lineker from his bond.
