Uncle Creepy loses opponent, again

UFC flyweight Ian McCall has lost his third opponent in a row.

At UFC 201, opponent Justin Scoggins had issues while cutting weight, and pulled out just days before weigh-ins.

McCall was originally told he would be paid his show money, and to make weight in case there was an issue with another flyweight on the card. The UFC ultimately paid him his win and his show money. Scoggins got the hole in a donut.

On Thursday the UFC announced that McCall’s opponent on Saturday, Ray Borg has been removed from the card. It is believed that the removal is due to illness. Borg also dropped out of his last scheduled fight, with Fredy Serrano at UFC 201, due to injury.

So McCall keeps getting paid, which is apparently keeping his spirits up, despite the fact that he has not fought since January of 2015.

“I’m fine,” said McCall to Ariel Helwan. “I’m getting paid great money to have abs. It could be worse. I just really want to fight.”

McCall hopes to fight soon, hopefully vs Irish flyweight Neil Seery at the UFC Fight Night 99 event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Nov. 19.
