The UFC pay-per-view curse continues. Justin Scoggins has been pulled from his UFC 201 fight with Ian McCall.
The #13-ranked flyweight Scoggins was set for a big fight against 5th-ranked McCall Saturday night, but sources have told Fightful.com that Scoggins' weight cut stalled out about 6-7 pounds above the allowed 126 pound limit.
Scoggins (11-2) was looking for his biggest win to date after coming off of victories over Josh Sampo and Ray Borg. It's unknown if the UFC is seeking a replacement for Ian McCall.
Scoggins also indicated on Twitter that he's moving to bantamweight.
UPDATE: Scoggins' father has confirmed the news to Bloody Elbow, saying that Scoggins was unable to get below 132.5 pounds. It's worth noting that weigh-ins weren't for well over 12 hours away from his withdrawal.
