McCall jokingly asks UFC for desk job after seeing another fight canceled
Ian McCall has seen a fifth straight fight canceled, but the veteran UFC flyweight is taking the news in stride.
On Sunday, a report came out that McCall's upcoming opponent Neil Seery would not be able to make their fight at UFC 208 as a result of his mother-in-law having died. Given the personal nature of the withdrawal, McCall had no hard feelings for the Irishman.
Instead, the snakebitten fighter jokingly offered to take a job in the UFC offices given that he seems doomed to have his Octagon appearances perpetually put off:
@ufc how about you guys just give me a desk job?

McCall also took the time to offer let fans know that he's keeping a positive attitude and also teased taking a short-notice bout with former UFC flyweight Louis Gaudinot.
