Ian McCall doesn't think John Lineker has enough in his arsenal to emerge victorious when the two men square off at UFC 183 on Saturday night.
"John Lineker is basic," McCall told BloodyElbow.com's Steph Daniels. "His game plan consists of moving straight forward and throwing big, heavy shots at the head. He's going to put everything into them, so all I have to do is stay active and make him miss, and touch him on the feet in the process. From there, I'll put him on the ground and choke him unconscious."
McCall, once considered the top 125 pound fighter on the planet when he was ruling over the flyweight division in Tachi Palace Fights, has faced UFC champion Demetrious Johnson twice already in his career, fighting "Mighty Mouse" to a draw at UFC on FX 2, before losing via unanimous decision at UFC on FX 3.
"Uncle Creepy" didn't have much more to say about Lineker, but he did have some thoughts about Team Alpha Male and Joseph Benavidez, who previously said that McCall would make a terrible champion.
I've never had a problem with Joe, but apparently, he has something to say. Team Alpha Male are nice guys, but they come off as the douchiest camp, and I've told some of their guys this. They're the douchebag frat guys of MMA. They walk around flexing with their shirts off, bumping chests and just seem like they would be the guys that would try to bang your girlfriend when your back is turned. Good for you, you're the coolest guys in Sacramento. There's only one of you that's ever going to be champion, and that's T.J. Dillashaw, and they treated him like the red-headed stepchild for a while. Look at him now, though. He's the man.
