10 Things We Learned From UFC Fight Night 46

4. Uncle Creepy Is On the Right Track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAN6F7bfAUo For his part, Ian "Uncle Creepy" McCall did exactly what he needed to do on Saturday: he used his speed and movement to avoid the heavy shots of Brad Pickett, and picked up his second straight win in the octagon - the first win streak of his UFC career. McCall has been in the top five of the flyweight division since its inception, but his first three fights were a draw then a loss with eventual champion Mighty Mouse Johnson, and a loss to title challenger Joseph Benavidez. That he held on to a top five ranking with no wins for over a year speaks to both his history as a fighter and his popularity, as well as the quality of his opponents - but McCall has now started to pick up steam, and with Chris Cariaso of all people getting the next shot of Demitrious Johnson's title, McCall is likely just one win away from a shot of his own. As for that one fight - perhaps a bout with John Lineker.
