                    <p>John Lineker took two tries to make weight at UFC Fight Night 56, but his fight was cancelled with Ian McCall has <a href="http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/448399/Ian-McCall-ill-out-of-UFN-56-co-main/" target="_blank">so sick he was briefly hospitalized</a>.&nbsp;</p>

Lineker planned to call out UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson if he won, and said he hoped for a title shot even though the fight was cancelled.

"He paid the price for his jokes," said Lineker, as transcribed by Guilherme Cruz for MMAFighting. "He made fun of my situation, drinking coconut water (before the faceoff) while I had to cut 0.7 pound, and God punished him [laughs].

"It happens. I’m upset because I wanted to fight, I trained hard for months and couldn’t fight, but we have to understand."

"Since I wanted to fight him and ask for a shot at the title, why can’t I just go ahead and fight the champion? UFC, please, give me this opportunity. I have evolved a lot since my first fight in the UFC, and I’m 100 percent ready to fight for the title."

"I made a mistake. I thought we would weigh in at 6p.m., but the weigh-ins was at 4p.m. Weight is not a problem for me anymore. I weighed in at 125.5 pounds in my last fight, and I can make 125 pounds for a title fight."

"I need three or four months to get ready, to a good training camp. Weight is not a problem anymore."

Lineker was asked how he planned to beat UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. 

"With hands of stone," said Lineker. "When my hand lands, he will stop."

"God punished him."

What a loving, compassionate, caring god followed by equally loving and compassionate followers. Sadly, these types of comments are the norm for theists.

I'd watch. He's more deserving than Cariaso was, and it's a fresh matchup. No need to see MM own McCall a 3rd time. Phone Post 3.0

Lol. 3 to 4 months?? He didn't even fight and it would take him this long to get ready for another fight?? Phone Post 3.0

Rather see mm fight sooner and an opponent we know can make weight Phone Post 3.0

Wait you failed to make weight without major issues and want the title fight without even winning?

Oh wait it's the UFC, carry on.

God also fucked with Job to the point of killing his family and taking away his fortune...all to win a bet with Satan.

13.5 minutes of the 15 minutes they fought, yes. Easy 2 rounds to 1, and the 2nd fight he put a definitive stamp on who the better fighter was. No need for a 3rd fight, we already know who the better fighter is. Phone Post 3.0

You have the right to your own opinion.

































But you will receive the peoples ban, no doubt.

Umm wow... I'll admit that I haven't seen it in a while but I thought the general consensus was that they should be 1-1. And yes mm easily won the second fight. Phone Post 3.0

It's baffling. How many times has he first stepped to the scale and missed the weight? Sometimes he has made it later on, sometimes not.

But its so confusing for me. How is it possible? He is professional athlete. But not only that, some fighters just drop waaaay too much, like AJ @ WW.

But Lineker.. He just isn't that big. Or tall. So how does he end up missing the weight constantly?

Oh the ironing.

Weight is not a problem 'ANY MORE'.
Just missed weight, two days ago.

Then goes on to ask for a title shot when fight did not even happen.

You funny, Lineker. Phone Post 3.0
