O Jungle Fight arrived in São Paulo, this Saturday (10), for the thirty-second edition of the show. With good fights on the fight program, the duel between John Lineker and Iliarde Santos, valid for the bantamweight belt, was the highlight of the event
In a mind-boggling fight, Lineker and Iliarde put on a duel worthy of applause from the public present at the Ibirapuera Gymnasium. With a title at stake and the possibility of a contract with a major international organization, the athletes dedicated themselves to the fight to the fullest. Paraná's John Lineker started better, unleashing his boxing blows and punishing his opponent. But with a good chin, Iliarde recovered and connected with good low kicks and counter strikes. In the third round, Santos managed to get a takedown, but he was unable to put his jiu-jitsu into practice and John was able to return to striking quickly. At the end of 15 minutes of a very balanced fight, both athletes raised their hands in celebration and were applauded by the public. In the sum of the side judges' sheets, John Linker's victory in the judges' split decision
After the fight, Jungle president Wallid Ismail was full of praise for the two fighters: “This is one of the biggest fights of the year. Where has anyone seen a fight like that in the world?” said a euphoric leader.

another theft of the jungle fight, because everyone saw that the victory belonged to iliarde
I thought the fight was well balanced. Overall, Lineker had better moments…But Iliarde fought a lot, honestly, he surprised me
In fact, it was very competitive.
I saw the fight twice.
Linker was a little more superior, minimal.
I think that today, Linker and Iliard are the best fighters in Brazil. They both deserve UFC.
Great fight, but there will always be something to oppose, for me John Linker was superior and won the fight, because Eliarde is in the wrong category, I don't know what he does, but it's incredible he weighs 61kg and the next day he weighs 74kg …a real fight between David and Goliath, and Lineker showed no fear and went for it, I bet if Iliarde wasn't strong he would have gone to the tape quickly.
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy lineker heading to UFC
Damn Jhown and my neighbor really deserve everything that's happening now they have to get the chance in the UFC and kill it
