Ian McCall out of UFC Fight Night 37 main card bout
According to MMAJunkie.com, UFC President Dana White confirmed the injury during a media luncheon on Thursday.
Pickett (23-8) has had a bit of a roller-coaster ride since making his UFC debut in November of 2011. At UFC 138 he fought current interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao and lost via rear-naked choke. Most recently Pickett took on Michael McDonald at UFC Fight Night 26 where he lost via triangle choke. “One Punch” is 3-3 under the UFC banner.
McCall (12-4-1) made his UFC debut at UFC on FX 2 where he fought Demetrious Johnson to a majority draw in the first flyweight bout in UFC history. Due to a scoring miscalculation, the two fought again at UFC on FX 3 and Johnson won by decision. “Uncle Creepy” went on to fight current number one contender Joseph Benavidez at UFC 156, but fell short on the judges scorecards. The 29-year old is coming off a big decision victory over Iliarde Santos.
The organization is seeking a replacement opponent for Pickett at the March 8 event.
UFC London will go down on March 8 and features a light heavyweight fight between Alexander Gustafsson and Jimi Manuwa in the main event.
