IAN MCCALL TALKS LATEST INJURY WHICH FORCED HIM OFF UFC FIGHT NIGHT 73

Ian McCall was supposed to fight Dustin Ortiz at UFC Fight Night 73 but sadly had to pull out because of injury. McCall (13-5) caught up with MMAOddsBreaker on Episode 115 of The Parting Shot Podcast that Sunday to talk about his latest injury. Injury that forced him out of Dustin Ortiz fight at UFC Fight Night 73″I have a tear in my shoulder, in my labrum and a tear in my own nostrils. I mean I am literally at the physicians now talking about it. It’s what it is, we train hard and I’m fragile apparently. I have to pull out of a good deal of s**t. It sucks, but if you train as hard as I do and you have been doing this as long as I do, its part of the game” Career Plagued with Injuries”My UFC profession has been only been plagued with injuries and it’s frustrating. This is my main source of income, I still have other things I do however, this is my principal source. I’ve got a little girl to feed, I feed my own and it stinks. However, on a different note, this really is my enthusiasm; this is precisely what I really like to do. I’m 31 years old, I’m not getting younger I’ve already been in fights for 13 years. To watch my body neglect me time and time again it is hard. It’s one of those things it makes you question a good deal. I’m such a healthy person, my loved ones is like amazingly healthy, and you know my daughter has to have a very strict diet. I have had my hip, groin tear, that can be bad. I am sure I will need to find a hip replacement . I’ve had three hand surgeries. I got into a car accident not too long ago and messed up my shoulder. It’s always a thing, but it’s better than having an actual job.” Being Positive and Optimistic”A lot of my life I’ve been a pessimist to become honest. I look at it in different ways, it could be worse, I might be dead. I could have lost full use of my arm or whatever. There are a whole lot of things I look at. I have to keep a positive mindset because I must be a fantastic role model for team-mates and my little one. It is one of these things I am not going to sit around and sulk. That’s what it is, I will be al right.” Thoughts on Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson II in UFC 191″Demetrious is ever evolving and I think that now he has discovered a little more power in his punches. His overall game is constantly changing and getting better. I think he’ll conquer Dodson, is he going to finish [him]? I really don’t know. I believe this will be one guy he’ll have difficulty completing. He finished Horoguchi with one minute left, and as much as I want to beat his face in, he is incredible. He’s the precise guy you want as winner when it comes to performance. I’m likely to go with him on this one for sure.” Loss to John Lineker”Oh man which has been enormous. I got overly emotional; I showed the very first round that I could definitely overcome him. People were like’Oh he is a bantamweight’ I don’t care; the guy still is not very good I should have beat him. I think I showed that you are not going to knock me out even though you’re a huge puncher. My face will split open before you knock me out and that is precisely what happened. With me it is outside matters, they always distract me, woman problems or what have you. I just kind of fell apart after that first round. I am smart enough to know I was going to drop that struggle sitting backstage. Anthony Kiedis and Dane White came around and said hello and I am just kind of like, I’m screwed. That was a mental thing, that’s always been my biggest downfall. I have a brand new mental coach, he is my thoughts Sherpa. He is overall made me a better individual. As far as goes, he’s a big part of it.” Feeling Overlooked at Flyweight Division”I wouldn’t say overlooked, there is other folks to discuss. I blew it with John; I screwed up in that fight. So maybe I do not deserve to be talked about it. Let us say this injury is just 6 months, they’ll talk about me then, that is fine. You can find other people who deserve it. It does matter how good I can be or how great I am, it is not my turn. DJ needs people to fight, the division needs people to shake and move and create a big stink. I do not mind it, it is cool, anything.” Raising a daughter as one dad”Yeah it’s not simple; realistically I don’t know anything about women. I understand how to get one in bed that’s about it. I sit there sometimes and stare at her like’what’s going on?’ Don’t cut your hair, do not put soap in areas, like I do not understand. Realistically I have a lot help, I live together with my father. My father got a divorce, he said proceed in, and I’ll help you out. My daddy’s retired so he kind of plays mommy on a daily basis. My step mother is still about; my daughter’s grandma is around so that I do have a lot of assistance. So I am not going to say I am doing this alone, because I’m not. It requires a village to raise a baby and I got a village of people around me. Even if there are days where I must take her to the gym, there’s always some one there. She is pretty damn independent I will take her to the shore; she can run around and swim on her own. She’s going to be fine.” UFC Reebok Uniforms”I used to work for a fashion design firm; the sole real fighters I hang out with are people I am forced to hang out my friends. I hang out with artists, fashion designers, artists and musicians and stuff. They’re hideous, such as Jose Aldo stated we seem like f***kin Power Rangers. The gear is actually comfortable; clearly Reebok makes a great item. I don’t know who left the layout, no matter what generation we’re in 80’s 90’s, that does not match anything, it is just awful. But perhaps I am wrong; perhaps I’m looking for something a little cooler looking. Its performance based gear; that is all that matters. It is an evolution of the game. We needed it to shine, sure we’re not going to have paid that much money but it’s what it is. If you’ve got a issue then quit, these are the amounts we must deal with. If you’re smart and you can market yourself and promote yourself in manners like I have. I have external sponsors; I’ve Layrite, which is similar to a hair and mustache merchandise. I have got a lot of clothes and lifestyle companies. I receive a lot of exposure from materials like that. People today will need to know t to step outside the box, make money for themselves and also have a smart agent.” Ideas on Reebok Deal”Yeah that would have been fine, but at exactly the exact same time they run a business. They operate a multi-billion dollar company that is a premiere sports league. If you see the machine which is your UFC, from the inside it is incredible. The people are great; the company layout is simply amazing. I wouldn’t ever say anything bad about the way that it’s all run, it’s amazing if you appreciate business. The matter is that they didn’t need to consult us because it’s their business. We’re a commodity; as much as I wish to say cool we ought to be earning money such as baseball, football and basketball. Because we should we are actually putting our lives at stake. But we are not and I don’t wish to quote Urijah Faber, he stated’I never got into this for the cash’ frankly I get it, I am a businessman.” Outside patrons”Financially I’m going to be fine. I’m going to find methods [to make money]. I own part of a social networking company, I own a series that I host called Direct Endorsement, also it is a big charity matter. I have other things that is going to make me money, so I will be ok. I do feel for men that don’t have much else or guys that are not that smart. But that is their own fault, figure out it it’s not rocket science” Being on Joe Rogan’s”Fight Companion” show”Yeah I was speaking to Joe not too long ago. I’ve a developing friendship with Joe for quite a while, we constantly talk about it but it is a tiny bit of a drive from my house with all the traffic. I will be up there shortly, I have to do some things in the region so I’ll be on there soon.” You follow Ian on Twitter @Unclecreepymma and his host DirectEndorcements.com.
