Looking at Brad Pickett’s Twitter this morning, (UK Time) it was news that he deep down, was expectpting, but probably hoping it would not become a reality.
Today at 14.54pm he tweeted the following :
Although nothing else was stated and ‘Uncle Creepy’ Ian
McCall himself had not put anything at all on Twitter, this still led everyone to believe that the problem lies with McCall.
That has now been confirmed by Dana White that Ian McCall is infact out injured and will NOT be fighting UK’s Brad Pickett who also was making his 125lb debut in the Flyweight divison.
The UFC are still working on a replacment; I mean we do still have time on our side, especially since what has just happend to Daniel Cormier, who’s opponent Rashad Evans also fell injured, with only one week to go, despite DC tweeting ‘Chael.P.Sonnen and Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson to fight him; His new opponent is 4-0 fighter Patric Cummins.
Looking forward to see who the UFC bring in to replace ‘Uncle Creepy’.
There is plenty of time for The UFC come up with a suitable replacement to fight Brad Pickett on March 8th at The O2 arena in London.
