It looks like UFC 224 will feature John Lineker, as it’s being reported that the bantamweight will take on Brian Kelleher at the Rio de Janeiro event.
Kelleher (19-8) called for a bout with the Brazilian contender, after he defeated Renan Barao via decision, at UFC on FOX 28 last month. According to a report from Combate, and a follow up report from MMA Fighting, the fight has been added to the May 12th event.
Lineker (30-8), meanwhile, earned a decision over Marlon Vera in his last bout, which took place in October.
UFC 224 will be headlined by a fight between bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes and Raquel Pennington.
