The fighters are weighed in and it was a terrible morning for the Brazilians on the scale, with headliner John Lineker, co-headliner Alex Oliveira and FW Hacran Dias all missing weight. Granted, Lineker only missed by half a pound, but the other two weren't even close. 

Either way, the card goes ahead as planned, with prelims kicking off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before transitioning to FS2 at 9pm. The main card airs on FS1 at 11pm. 

Enjoy!

@Abigail Your guess is as good as mine. Could very well be a split.

I think the only really clear round is 5 for Dodson. I think Dodson edged out round 1, probably 2 also. I'd give Lineker the edge in rounds 3 and 4, though I wouldn't kill a judge for giving any of those to either fighter.

Great win for Lineker.  Fight could have gone either way.

Fought his ass off.  Hope he gets a fight with Dillashaw or Cruz soon.

Scored it 3-2 for Lineker despite DC and Anik sucking Dodson's anus all fight. Close though.

Another * win...big whoop he won, he missed weight and it shouldn't count much for him. We need to start making fighters that miss weight hand over 50% of their purse and then maybe we wouldn't have this happening so much and guys would be in their correct weight classes instead of trying to be the big guy in smaller classes they have no business being in if they are missing weight. These over-weight wins should not move guys up in the standings.

Can't see how Lineker won that decision at all. It was a great fight, and I think he should be given a bonus in spite of missing weight, but Dodson clearly won rounds 1, 2, and 5. He also narrowly won round 3, in my opinion. At worst, a 48-47 for Dodson. Very similar to Cruz-Dillashaw, in the nature of the controversy.

It seems all of tapology had Dodson in this one, why tho? Dodson didn't nearly have as much significant strikes as Lineker, almost never pushed forward, downvoters a plenty coming for this post. Lineker wanted to fight
