At this point, Ian McCalls struggles getting from camp to cage are well known. Despite being part of the UFC’s inaugural flyweight tournament back in 2012, “Uncle Creepy” has only fought six times for the promotion. In-between those six bouts he’s suffered a knee injury, a hand injury, a groin/hip injury, and a viral infection. That’s enough to give any fighter pause about their career. But, McCall’s latest run of bad luck has made those past problems seem almost insignificant.
Back in August of 2015, McCall was scheduled to fight Dustin Ortiz, before withdrawing due to injury.
