A longtime bantamweight, Pickett made his 125-pound debut last month, when he outpointed Seery in a hard-fought match at UFC Fight Night “Gustafsson vs. Manuwa.” The triumph followed a 2013 in which “One Punch” posted a 1-1 record, outpointing Mike Easton via split decision one year ago before suffering a submission defeat to Michael McDonald last August.
In McCall, Pickett will face the world’s former top-ranked flyweight, though “Uncle Creepy” has faced adversity since joining the UFC in 2012. After beginning his Octagon run with a record of 0-2-1, McCall earned his first UFC victory on Aug. 3, when he outpointed Iliarde Santos in a competitive UFC 163 contest.
