Linares was the WBC champ. He got injured so the WBC delegated him to diamond status and let Mikey fight that Zlaticanin dude for the vacant title, with the insurance that Linares would get to fight for that title. Linares went on to win the WBA title and he was set to fight Mikey also in a unification but Mikey went to fight Lipinets instead. So Linares fought Lomachenko.
