John Lineker's UFC debut is scheduled for tomorrow, on the preliminary card of UFC on Fox 3, but the Brazilian athlete suffered his first setback in the organization. The Brazilian was the only one who failed to reach the category limit at the event's official weigh-in, held this Friday.
Lineker weighed 57,6kg, almost 1 kg. above what is allowed by the flyweight division. Now, the Brazilian will have two hours to lose excess weight and perform in his second attempt to reach the category limit.
Due to the problem, Lineker was fined US$1.200 by the UFC, approximately R$2.280.
