A CONVERSATION WITH IAN MCCALL
By: Andreas Brauning, FIGHTLAND

"Heading into UFC 183, Ian McCall is coming off a strong triumph over Brad Pickett at the legendary Fight Night in Dublin, Ireland. Having originally been slated to face John Lineker at UFC Fight Night 56: Shogun Vs. St. Preux—a night OSP stunned Shogun and finished him seconds into the first round—McCall became ill the day before the fight and was forced to pull out by the promotion’s medical experts. Now, after much anticipation, McCall finally faces Lineker in a 125 pound contest. At stake is a shot at Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson’s Ultimate Fighting Championship Flyweight Champion of the World title.
