Ian McCall is an ace fighter with smooth boxing and a solid all-round game. He's coming over from Tachi Fights Palace, where he was their Flyweight champion and picked up a highly coveted scalp in Jussier Da Silva. Most are prediciting Johnson to decision him but win or lose 'Uncle Creepy' is one of the best 125lbers in the World. Like Johnson, it was a loss to Dominick Cruz at Bantamweight (WEC 38) that prompted a move down in weight, and McCall has looked ace there. If he wins he'll likely have the daunting task of Joseph Benavidez, another very tough matchup. Anyone else think McCall can pull off the win this weekend? I think he can outwork Johnson in a gruelling, fast-paced encounter. WAR Uncle Creepy!!!
He looks very good from the fights that I have seen. Johnson is a tough fight, though, and at 125 who knows how he will look. Very hard one to call. McCall does seems like a douche, though.
Does he? About from the 'I used to be an addict' which doesn't particularly impress me, he seems alright. I like him as a fighter first and foremost though :good
My pick in the League is Johnson by UD....but I´m a fan of McCall.....and this is a extremely competitive fighter IMO, and I think this division will be the most fun to watch in the near future in the UFC.....some great action fighters there..... Sadly I didn´t watch Jussier "Formiga" da Silva vs McCall.......
McCall is great offensively with solid Muay Thai but is too easy to hit and I think Mighty Mouse takes this one with his speed and wrestling. His offence is a bit to kick heavy I think, needs too work his hands more then add kicks to the combos But McCall is definitely one for the future if he can improve his flaws, just think the step up in class will be too much in this one
It's on YouTube but I'm typing on iPhone at the mo'...post it up for me please Vic, McCall takes the fight with a spirited effort in the 2nd and 3rd rounds :good
Nice....didn´t know it was on YT...:happy: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el_LL_BOGiY[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MGlcr426dw&feature=related[/ame] McCall vs Darrell Montague [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mesU-vKLDQ[/ame]
Love how McCall mixes up his offence. Muay Thai, elbows, knees and kicks with a fluid boxing game and movement. As said before, dgence isn't his strongest point standing as he relies on his feet to get him back out of range. But he's a hard working little *******, I like him. Kampmann Vs Alvez may be more dramatic or consistent enough on the action front to get FOTN, but McCall Vs Johnson is the best fight of the night IMO. Will Mighty Mouse retain his speed advantage against the smaller guys? And, scoff or not but I think Dodson will do some damage down there as well.
Yeah McCall is too open again Joe, Joe would light him up on his feet, guy would beat any bantam aside from Cruz and Faber, he'll rule the division with an iron fist imo.
