Jarred Brooks believes he fights very similarly to his upcoming opponent at UFC 208 — with the exception that he’s just a little better.
The 23-year-old undefeated prospect is scheduled to make his UFC debut at Saturday’s UFC 208 in Brooklyn, N.Y. against MMA veteran and top-10 flyweight Ian McCall. However, that wasn’t always the plan. The original dance partner for “Uncle Creepy” was Ireland’s Neil Seery, but due to a death in the family, Seery withdrew from the fight. That’s when Brooks, who’s been wanting to fight Ian McCall since 2013, received the call from the UFC to step up on two weeks’ notice.
