Ian McCall: "I'm officially overrated."

Trollsmasher · February 4

I think he is been too hard on himself. Since making his debut this guy has faced the best of the best at flyweight, and they all been close fights. He almost finish Johnson in their first fight.

I like him a lot, I think he just needs to take care of his personal issues before fighting the best in the division again.

The way he is talking, you'd think he got KO'd in the first 30 seconds or something. I don't know why the UFC would want to cut him considering he puts on good fights and they are extremely underpaying him anyways.

That's what u think. According to McCall he made over $80,000 from the UFC in his first fight not including sponsor money.

What makes ME sad is his paycheck... 9k... I feel them feels coming on.

They can't cut him even if he loses his next fight there's only 3 other relevant flyweights right now.

apparetnly that's what he got for the FX 3 fight with the rematch with Mighty Mouse and then went onto say the UFC gave him like $40 000 or something afterwards, so never so sure about those pays

Gabri1985 · February 5

He is a good fighter, no doubt he will win his next fight it's not like he got dominated he fought to a draw with the currant champ then lost to him then lost by one round to the next best in the division.

Omoplataypus · February 5

Mccall is a great fighter but I just dont know if he'll ever cross the threshold into championship material.

FroZeN · February 5

Poor guy, I hope he wins his next fight. Too bad he didn't KTFO Flighty Mouse...

PoloRidah · February 5

His UFC record does NOT speak for his actual fighting ability. Apparently this can happen when you fight in a division that is very shallow. I still think he won the first Mighty Mouse fight.

When you fight to a draw with the champion, how far away are you from championship material?

FroZeN · February 5

So does this mean he will change his name to Ian McCan?

PoloRidah · February 5

I feel like Ian is going to go on a pill popping depression binge. Hasn't he struggled with addiction in the past? Get that man some help!

He just lacks thepure drive to win which a champ needs

He finds a way not win it seems....I made a thread on this...he cares to entertain to much and that gets in the way of him winning it seem....a great example of his first fight with MM...he had his back and was close to the finish...but instead of puring it on he just played to the crowd and the round ended

I like the guy...he damn talented but hes got thing to work out....the ufc should stick with him through this tough time for him and let it ride out

But once he starts to try to get the wins first over being entertaining he will get a title shot and maybe even the belt...MM is a very win able fight for him

TheUnicorn · February 5

He shouldn't be so hard on himself he is one of my 2 favorite Flyweights

He definitely would have if the judging error didn't happen. Had they gone to a sudden death round (like they should have), I believe Uncle Creepy would've repeated his third round performance and gotten the decisive victory. It would've been Benavidez v. McCall for the inaugural flyweight championship instead.

He got a rematch and lost. He fought the #2 guy and lost. I like Mccall but he's got some tough comp ahead of him in MM Bene and Dodson.

Jbrahams · February 6

wow he sure knows how to make you feel sorry for him doesn't he? lol

Hopefully that mindset fuels him and doesn't weaken him for his next fight, the UFC NEEDS him in that division, so they might as well give him an easy win next, I can't imagine a UFC FLW division without Uncle Creepy

he needs Dr.Phil...

Yesterdays_Hero · February 6

McCall is the 1 guy who can dethrone MM

StompGrind · February 6

Big respect to Ian for saying this. Hopefully he uses it as motivation. He's a great fighter and a handful for anyone in the division
