Trollsmasher 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 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. Source: http://fiveknuckles.com/mma-news/Ian-McCall-Im-officially-overrated.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chons 16,744 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brent555 8 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jbrahams 861 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 What makes ME sad is his paycheck... 9k... I feel them feels coming on. 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabri1985 44 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 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.

Los_Polo_Hermano 37,086 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 His UFC record does NOT speak for his actual fighting ability.

BruteDion 121 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 Mccall is a great fighter but I just dont know if he'll ever cross the threshold into championship material. When you fight to a draw with the champion, how far away are you from championship material? 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ijosef 1,889 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 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. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jbrahams 861 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fact #2 He thinks because he lost to the top two fighters in his division he's not the best in the world like he was hyped. Sounds like he's being real honest to me instead of whining.
