I know that I would’ve finished the fight in that fourth round, asserts McCall. I think everyone knows that. The momentum swing was very much in my favor. It was all downhill for him. I felt him wilt underneath those shots I was putting on him on the ground. It still bothers me. It has been bothering me ever since. I have had this nagging thing in the back of my head that has been eating away at me that’s been driving me [expletive] crazy. It’s unfinished business. I don’t like to leave things unfinished. I’m a perfectionist and it’s driving me nuts. I just want to get this over with.
Admittedly, McCall has watched the frustrating fight with Johnson a couple times, but ultimately has resigned from further viewings. The men in McCall’s camp that have agonized over the video tape to pick apart the memorable organizational debut are his coaches from Team Oyama in Irvine, California. The dynamic duo specifically instructing McCall is Muay Thai specialist Colin Oyama and third degree BJJ black belt Giva Santana. They are the architects who McCall looks to lead him to a decisive victory over Mighty Mouse and improving his overall 11-2-1 record.
I don’t bother watching it much because the more I watch it the more it pisses me off and the more I realize I won, states McCall. I leave it to my coaches to watch. They are my coaches for a reason and I have faith in them. They put together the gameplan to make sure I can finish the fight and put my stamp on it more or less. It being physically possible, it is hard to prepare any harder than I did for the last one, so it comes down to gameplan. The gameplan has changed, not by much, but now I know exactly what to do. I need to beat him up. I can’t get into this long distance, jogging match with him. I have to get into his face and take him into uncomfortable positions like I did in the third round.
