All-out action

John Lineker and Francisco Rivera might not have been the most well-known names on the UFC 191 card last night but they were all anybody was talking about following their rapid-fire brawl. The bantamweight pair threw tactics out the window as both embarked on a wild free-swinging encounter that lasted just over two minutes but packed in as much action as most cards combined. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/640331331692445698?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Both men shipped some huge shots before Rivera fell forwards into a guillotine that allowed Lineker take the fight less than halfway into the first round. And stats showed just how heavy the action had been. https://twitter.com/MJCflipdascript/status/640334189963800576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Unsurprisingly, the duo claimed fight of the night honours on the Las Vegas card, which saw Demetrious Johnson retain his flyweight title in the main event with a unanimous decision over John Dodson.
