With less than 24 hours to go, the UFC Fight Night 56 co-main event between Ian McCall and John Lineker is on the verge of being canceled due to a sudden bout of illness from McCall.
UFC President Dana White announced news of the possible cancelation on Friday night via Twitter.
Looking like Ian McCall is sick and might not be able to fight tonight.
— Dana White (@danawhite) November 8, 2014
Although not official yet, the bout — which is supposed to take place tomorrow, and not tonight as White tweeted — will likely be scrapped if McCall is forced to call in sick. MMAWeekly.com will update the situation as more information presents itself.
