Ian McCall vs Justin Scoggins
Ian McCall vs Justin Scoggins
In the main-card opener, ‘Uncle Creepy’ makes his return after a year and half away from the cage, following a decision loss to now bantamweight contender John Lineker. He faces up-and-comer Justin Scoggins who has been turning many heads in the UFC’s Flyweight division, with his unusual footwork and lethal striking.
McCall has always had a strong MMA game, with both effective striking and a good grappling game. However, his time in the UFC in recent years has been riddled with injuries and when detailing it on the Rogan podcast, explained how he couldn’t even curl his fingers enough to make a ball of fist!
That’s a dangerous flaw when facing a striker of the caliber of Scoggins, who is a wizard on the feet with his unconventional footwork, blitzing speed and pinpoint strikes. Scoggins is younger, faster and is riding a huge wave of confidence after an impressive win over Ray Borg in his last fight.
Prediction : Justin Scoggins via decision
