After Two Cancellations, Ian McCall Slated for UFC Belfast Fight Card | MMAWeekly.com

The UFC has added a flyweight match-up pitting Ireland’s Neil Seery against U.S. fighter Ian “Uncle Creepy” McCall to the upcoming UFC Fight Night: Kim vs. Nelson fight card. The event takes place on Nov. 19 at the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Following a series of injuries, McCall (13-5-1) was forced to sit on the sidelines and await his return to action. A string of bad luck then saw back-to-back bouts cancelled for the California-born fighter, as scheduled fights with Justin Scoggins and Ray Borg at UFC 201 and UFC 203, respectively, were cancelled.

Now McCall will step inside the Octagon and face veteran Seery, who McCall acknowledges as a challenger who always comes to fight.

Seery (16-12-0), meanwhile, will be looking to rally the support of Irish fans inside The SSE Arena, as he prepares to face yet another top five contender in the UFC’s 125-pound division.

The event will be headlined by a five-round welterweight bout between Dong Hyun Kim,(21-3-1) one of South Korea’s most decorated athletes, and adopted Irishman, Gunnar Nelson (15-2-1), who trains alongside Conor McGregor at Dublin’s Straight Blast Gym. 

Also set to feature on the Kim vs. Nelson fight card is a women’s strawweight bout between Denmark’s Anna Elmose, who moves up to 115 pounds, and finalist of The Ultimate Fighter Amanda Cooper.
