The information comes from the North American broadcaster “ESPN”. The vehicle cites sources close to the athletes and reveals that, despite no contract being signed, the two athletes verbally agreed to the duel.

Lineker had four fights in the UFC's bantamweight division and won them all, the most recent against John Dodson, in October. At the time, however, the Brazilian did not reach the weight limit for the category. Dillashaw was champion between 2014 and 2016 and is coming off a victory over Raphael Assunção at UFC 200 in July.

UFC 207 already has two confirmed title fights. The main fight of the night will be between Amanda nunes e Ronda Rousey, valid for the women's bantamweight title. In the male category, Dominick Cruz defends his belt again against cody garbrandt.
