If Ian McCall had any luck at all, it would be bad luck.

The UFC flyweight has fallen ill and will not be able to compete against Jarred Brooks at UFC 208 on Saturday in Brooklyn, the UFC announced Saturday morning. Champions was the first to report the news.

McCall had gastrointestinal issues and had to be transported to the hospital, per the UFC. He was pulled from the card on the recommendations of a doctor.

McCall, 32, has been plagued with uncommonly bad luck on fight week.
