At the UFC Fight Night 96 event on Saturday night, John Lineker not only defeated fellow heavy-hitting Bantamweight contender John Dodson, he planted the seed for his next fight, or at least the one he would like next.

Lineker, who has been scoring exciting knockouts for years inside the Octagon, defeated former two-time UFC Flyweight Championship contender John Dodson via split decision after five rounds in the main event of the show, which emanated from Portland, Oregon and aired live on FOX Sports 1.

In his post-fight interview inside the Octagon after his victory, Lineker called out UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz for a shot at the title.
