This past weekend at UFC on FX 2 at Sydney’s Allphones Arena, McCall fought Johnson in the opening round of a four-man tournament to determine the UFC’s inaugural flyweight champion. McCall finished the fight strong and had victory within his grasp with a late ground-and-pound assault, but the fight went to the judges.
Since then, many fans have pointed to McCall’s showboating in the final barrage as the cause of his misfortune.
“It’s my fault for not finishing the fight,” he told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “I tried to show off too much, and I didn’t do what I was supposed to do.
“You’ve got to play to the crowd. That’s part of my job. But yeah, I think if I stopped screwing around, I could’ve finished the fight.”
