'The Sniper' believes it was clear who was leading the dance. Prior to the fight, Andrade asserted that he'd be the superior striker and even turn Lineker into a wrestler, which is exactly what happened. Loman shared his thoughts on the fight in an interview with The MMA Super-Fan. He said: "Both Andrade and Lineker really showed their striking game but I saw that Andrade was really the sharper one between them. I even saw Lineker shoot for a takedown but even then Andrade still had the advantage. Andrade easily got up after Lineker’s takedown attempt, and that added another layer during their match." Andrade took to Instagram after the fight to share his thoughts on the unintentional groin strike which ultimately ended the bout in a no-contest.
