Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 83 fight card has seen another change as bantamweight John Lineker announced on Instagram earlier today that he is out of the event due to an illness.
The news of Lineker being out of the event comes just a couple of days after the UFC announced the welterweight bout between Brandon Thatch and Siyar Bahadurzada had been moved to UFC 196 due to Thatch being unable to get clearance from the Pennsylvania Commission due to a medication that he is permitted to use by USADA.
