I'm not sure honestly. McDonald had better not stand in the pocket, that's for sure

Lineker just doesn't give a fuck, does he? Dude's a maniac and will be throwing bombs...which is kind of why I like McDonald in this fight. He's very technical, so I expect him to counter, move, work in some takedowns, and either win a decision or get a submission late.

McDonald wins this by being the smarter fighter, though I wouldn't blink in the first round.......

very good matchup.

Lineker has got to use some straight punches though. he looks like the average knucklehead gym warrior sometimes with the endless power hooks.

I always enjoy it when Lineker goes ape shit and gets right in the pocket, swinging from the next town over.

I was so confused as to what Rob Font's gameplan was, seems like he sometimes just laid down and let Lineker bully him around. Maybe @Psychotropic Wanderlust should take note of how Lineker did that.

McDonald is a big question-mark to me though currently. Nice win in his comeback, but lets see.
