Bryan Caraway wants John Lineker in January, addresses Urijah Faber turndown

BAD MMA News — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:42:38 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , UFC , Videos UFC bantamweight Bryan Caraway remembers at one point naming three desired opponents to the promotion for a future fight: Johnny Eduardo , John Lineker and Frankie Saenz. Urijah Faber was not the opponent he requested, but he wouldn’t be opposed to someone who could be a “huge fight.” But to date, none of the names has materialized. Then again, his request came before he suffered two cracked ribs while fighting ex-WEC champion Eddie Wineland in July, and before a rare family reunion nixed a proposed bout with Faber (32-8 MMA, 8-4 UFC). That doesn’t mean Caraway (20-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is giving up. He’s targeting a fight with Lineker (26-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in January so he can get back to his stated goal of facing ranked opponents to climb the bantamweight ladder.

Takeya Mizugaki SAITAMA, Japan – Every time George Roop got within punching distance, Takeya Mizugaki let him know it wasn’t a good idea.

But even that wasn’t enough to negate the damage he took, and judges went the other way. The bantamweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 75 event at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 2.
