Ian McCall is the flyweight Urijah Faber in that he was the name synonymous with a division, but when the UFC finally added it, he couldn't get the belt.

I do believe that if X was the number of wins McCall needed to get a title shot, its now probably X + 1, but he's not done. Lineker doesn't belong in that division.

Northjayhawk posted:

Given that Lineker's really not a flyweight fighter, I wonder how much this loss is going to count against McCall.

He could probably get back into a title shot with a win or two over someone good. That was likely part of his deal for even accepting the fight with a guy from another weight class. Say, a rematch with Formiga and then a win over A.Bag. There's nobody for D"MM"J to fight so what the gently caress else are you going to do, right?

Well he'd have to cut 25% more weight than he already failed by, so he really does have no chance.

Well at this point, yeah, he's going to go up to bantam and get smacked around and wrestled on. And honestly I don't know what the point of having him around at flyweight is, when you have Dodson. Oh hey, here's this guy who hits a little harder than Dodson and is better at working the body, but is ridiculously slower, has less cardio, and never makes weight.

Lineker is not even a big flyweight, he's just loving lazy about dieting. It's annoying because I would be otherwise interested in seeing him fight Mighty Mouse

I think they'll wait to see if Cejudo at flyweight pans out in March and go from there. I guess you could try to position Horiguchi for a shot too, if Cariaso gets one off of a split decision over some guy then 4-0 should be good enough.

Rousey also has a KO and sub in under a minute. She might have both under 30 seconds.
