Ian McCall
"It was very emotionally draining. At that point, I was just happy to still be alive in the tournament. I think that the adoring public got robbed of the magical fourth round and my Mortal Kombat finish, but that's about it. ... They haven't told me anything yet. They kept saying, "April, April." I wanted to co-headline the Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans card, but that didn't happen. So, I'm just waiting on the phone call. I want to get this over with as soon as possible. ... They always call him the best wrestler in the 125-pound class, but shockingly - I am. So, I'll definitely exploit that next time around."

I still think that joseph benavidez is the best overall wrestler in the 125 pound division.
I dont think so ! Ian "Salvador Dali" Mc Call will take him down. just wait and see
I think Ian robbed himself of a finish by showboating.
Sure we're happy the FWs are here, but fight like your trying to kill the guy and get the FOTN.
If "Uncle Stupid" finshed the damn fight instead of showboating for the crowd, we would not need to have this conversation.
Mighty Mouse will take the rematch and McCall will really regret doing what he did.
Benvenidez is the guy they better watchout for.
I agree that McCall was show boating but he still got robbed of the decision
McCall ****in sucks ass Johnson out striked his bitch ass johnson lost the thrid round McCall is a bitch n will get knocked the **** out next time
I dont know why you clicked "cool" on your own post, but its clear you did it. I might be a critic on his performance, but I will not disrespect him like a little 14 year old wannabe gangbanger, so politely STFU!
and yes I "weak'd" you.
Cjallday, you are a prick that needs some good old school education.
Clicking "cool" on your own status, does not make it cool, It makes you a ****ing douche bag idiot.
Who the f... weaked that? I gave you a fuuny badger, but it was not enough.
If some of your replies make the children angry they get all "weak" in the knees each time they see you post.
Who cares if he was screaming when he was finishing the round, he was hitting with him with all he had... and it was ****ing awesome.
Midget divison suprised me alot hope too see more good fights in the future
