John Lineker on his recent broken jaw, and his healthy return to the ring…
“I’m already training well,” said Lineker in a recent interview with MMA Fighting. “I can’t get hit in the head yet. I’m using a helmet, but I’m already training well.”
At just 26 years of age, Lineker should quickly get back into the thick of things at 135 pounds when he makes his return. If the Brazilian had it his way, he’d be able to challenge a former champion his first fight back.
“I don’t believe the UFC will give me Dominick Cruz,” added Lineker. “They will definitely give me someone else. I’m not sure who I’ll fight next, but it’s definitely not Dominick Cruz.
“I’m here to fight anyone. I want to go back in there and put on a fight.”

Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva speaks out on being back on the juice (TRT) recently…
“Thanks God I’m using it again,” Silva told MMA Fighting. “My life is better, way better, because my testosterone levels are back to normal. I feel with more energy in my day to day life.
“And as an athlete, my muscle fatigue decreased 90 percent between training. I can recover my body better now. It was hard for me before because I was completely tired after every training.”
“It’s unfair for a fighter with testosterone levels at 1000 to fight a fighter with normal levels, at 400, but it’s also unfair for a fighter with normal levels to fight someone at 100,” Silva’s manager Alex Davis said. “‘Bigfoot’ has health issues and needs it. If he doesn’t do TRT, his levels drop to 120. In Russia, he will be able to do it and bring his levels back to normal and become a different ‘Bigfoot’. If he had the opportunity to do it in the UFC, bring his levels back to normal, his last fights would have been completely different.”

Red is the rose

Like a coastline gets mapped
Like bad mobsters get slapped

And ducks like bread
My fists are aimed dead
At his lumpy old head
