Flyweight contenders Ian McCall, Dustin Ortiz meet in Nashville

A pair of top flyweights will clash in Motor City.

Ian McCall will take on Dustin Ortiz at UFC Fight Night: Teixeira vs. Saint Preux on Aug. 8 in Nashville, MMAFighting.com confirmed with UFC officials Tuesday. The fight was initially reported by The Tennesseean (h/t Sherdog).

McCall (13-5-1) was in line for a title shot against John Lineker at UFC 183 in January, but fell by unanimous decision. "Uncle Creepy" has lost three of his last five fights, but they all came against the elite of the 125-pound division.
