Ian McCall has at least a temporary reprieve from his miserable streak of opponent luck.
Monday, the Ultimate Fighting Championship announced that McCall will now face Octagon newcomer Jarred Brooks at UFC 208 on Feb. 11 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The news comes a day after McCall's original opponent, Neil Seery, announced that he had pulled out of the bout due to the death of his mother-in-law.
McCall, 32, hasn't been able to step into the cage since his January 2015 decision loss to John Lineker.
