A key flyweight matchup between top contenders John Lineker (24-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Ian McCall (13-4-1 MMA, 2-2-1 UFC) has been added to November’s UFC Fight Night 56 event in Brazil.

UFC officials today announced the new contest, which takes place on Nov. 8. While the venue has yet to be officially announced, UFC Fight night 56 is expected to take place at Ginasio Municipal Tancredo Neves in Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The matchup had been rumored for some time, as McCall admitted after a June win over Brad Pickett that he would welcome the contest, as long as Lineker was willing to wait while “Uncle Creepy” nursed a surgically repaired hand. Lineker made it clear he’d be happy to oblige but expects McCall to make a “real fight” in return. The bout may very well serve as a No. 1 contender fight, deciding the next opponent for the winner of UFC 178’s title fight between flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson and Chris Cariaso.

The matchup joins Rafael Cavalcante vs. Ovince Saint Preux as the only officially announced contests for the event thus far.
