John Lineker, two others miss weight for UFC Fight Night 96

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is already having multiple issues with its UFC Fight Night 96 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1, locked and loaded for this Saturday night (Oct. 1, 2016) inside Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.

That's because three of its fighters failed to make weight at the early weigh ins on Friday (Sept. 30), including bantamweight power puncher John Lineker, who is expected to battle former flyweight John Dodson in the five-round main event.

This is the fifth time "Hands of Stone" (136.5) was unable to hit his mark.

Elsewhere on the card, UFC Fight Night 96 co-headliner Alex Oliveira blew up the scale at 161.5 for his lightweight showdown against Bellator import Will Brooks.

And it's safe to say "Ill" was not in the best of moods after hearing about "Cowboy's" scale fail.

Take a look.
