    Did you know he is still fighting? He won a 6 round decision on November 30 in Corpus Christi Texas.

    I think that they are keeping him around to promote another heavyweight, Justin Jones. The idea, I think, is that people will come to see McCall and get hooked on the other fighters that the promoters are trying to move.

    I met him a couple of years ago. Couldn’t have been nicer to me. Good luck to Oliver in all things.

    He's 53 years old I'm honesty shocked that he got a license.

    I always hear he is a really cool dude. I feel bad for him with his troubles because he is such a solid person.

    I am not actually. Given his durability and low level of opposition, its understandable.

    Because Price is a big puncher with a weak chin, McCall has a great chin and still has some punching power.
    50/50 fight in my book
