Brad Pickett was supposed to fight Ian McCall last weekend at UFC Fight Night 37 in his flyweight debut, but took on Neil Seery instead when McCall pulled out due to injury.

Now that he's picked up the win over Seery and successfully hit 125 lbs., he still wants the fight with McCall, and took to Twitter to try setting it up.

Hey @Unclecreepymma you think you might be fit to fight for the 31th May in Berlin or 19th July in Ireland ? #unfinishedbusiness

For his part, McCall responded favorably, though he stressed he's not quite ready to commit to any dates.

@One_Punch ya I should be good by then. I'm fragile lately so don't wanna make any promises haha

Penick's Analysis: The UFC wanted to book the fight before, and it still makes sense now after the London event. Putting it in Germany or Ireland certainly works if they want to keep Pickett as a part of their EMEA tour, and really it's just a sensible fight at this stage.
