Derailed Ian McCall vs. John Lineker Bout Rescheduled for UFC 183
The derailed fight between top flyweight contenders Ian McCall and John Lineker has been rescheduled for UFC 183, which is set to take place on Jan. 31 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
McCall vs. Lineker was originally slated for UFC Fight Night 56 in Uberlandia, Brazil on Nov. 8. The bout was initially threatened when Lineker once again failed to make weight. McCall, however, accepted the fight at a catchweight, but then fell ill and was not allowed to fight.

McCall (13-4-1) is currently ranked no. 3 in the UFC 125-pound rankings. The 30-year-old California native is on a two-fight winning streak. He last competed on July 19, defeating Brad Pickett by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 46.
