Ian Gregory McCall (born July 5, 1984) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional MMA competitor since 2002, McCall has fought for World Extreme Cagefighting and Tachi Palace Fights. He is a former TPF Flyweight Champion. As of February 8, 2017, he is #6 in the official UFC flyweight rankings. Since last fighting in January 2015, he has been booked for five consecutive cancelled fights.
McCall was born in Costa Mesa, California and has an older brother, Brad. McCall got into many "fights" growing up and in his youth, he practiced karate and kung fu. He competed in wrestling for Dana Hills High School where he was a standout and then continued later at Cuesta College, before dropping out to a knee injury. He was also a part of a gang called the Lords of South County, where the gang would regularly start fights with random people, usually multiple people beating up one unsuspecting person. A few of them were charged for crimes, like former UFC fighter Rob Emerson, but Ian McCall escaped without charges. During one encounter, McCall attempted an uppercut against an unsuspecting person, but was countered with a right cross and knocked unconscious.
In his WEC tenure, McCall defeated Coty Wheeler and lost to Charlie Valencia in 2007. McCall returned in 2009, but lost to Dominick Cruz.
In February, McCall signed a deal with the California-based promotion, Tachi Palace Fights. Ian's first fight was against Jussier Formiga, who at the time was ranked as the #1 Flyweight in the world. McCall upset Formiga with a unanimous decision victory.
