MMA Community reacts to John Lineker’s impressive KO win over Brian Kelleher
UFC bantamweight knockout artist John Lineker lived up to his “hands of stone” reputation at tonight’s UFC 224 event in Brazil scoring a savage third-round knockout victory over a very game Brian Kelleher.
John was able to catch Kelleher with some big shots throughout the course of the fight but Brian was able to survive each Lineker surge. That is until round three, when Lineker landed a left hook from hell which spawned an end to Kelleher’s night.
Here is how the pros reacted to John Lineker’s impressive stoppage victory over Brian Kelleher at UFC 224.

Remember that one time John Lineker and Cody Garbrandt were supposed to fight in 2016, but it never happened? I hope it happens someday.
