Uncle Creepy: I came here to die, but …
Ian McCall: “Truly sad. … I have to go home and talk to my family, see if I want to do this anymore. … maybe this sport has passed me by.”
Let’s keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I’m the guy that you came in with
Luck be my lady tonight
Ian McCall hasn’t been lucky. The run of injuries and medical maladies and lost fights could take up this blog for a week. In 2012 he lost the narrowest majority decision by the P4P best fighter in MMA Demetrious Johnson. He’s gone 2-4 since, and is on a three-fight losing streak, most recently getting KOed in nine seconds by Kyoji Horiguchi at Rizin 10 on Saturday night in Fukuoka, Japan.

I came here to die and I think I punched him once, said McCall at the post fight press conference, as transcribed by Ryan Harkness for MMA Mania. I don’t know, I have to watch it again. It’s really embarrassing, so I don’t know. Truly sad. … I have to go home and talk to my family, see if I want to do this anymore. I have other opportunities in life, and I’ll be honest … maybe this sport has passed me by. It’s a lot to think about. And to think it has, it hurts. I never really got to show the world how good I am.
This run of ill luck cannot last forever, right?
