Mickey Gall (born January 22, 1992) is an American professional mixed martial artist who competes in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Early life
Gall was born in Green Brook, New Jersey.[4] He began training in boxing at the age of 13, and transitioned to Brazilian jiu-jitsu at 16.[2] Gall was also a wrestler and football captain at Watchung Hills Regional High School.[5] In order to pay for his jiu-jitsu training as a full-time Rutgers student, Gall worked as a bread truck driver for Walmart.[5]
Gall is an accomplished grappler, having won multiple NAGA and Grapplers Quest titles.[2]
Mixed martial arts career
After going 3–0 an amateur,[1] Gall made his professional debut for the Dead Serious MMA promotion in November 2015. He faced fellow debutant Ron Templeton and won via submission in the first round. Gall's bout was featured on Dana White's Lookin' for a Fight reality show, which earned him a UFC contract.[6]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Gall made his promotional debut on February 6, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 82, where he faced fellow newcomer Mike Jackson in what was billed as the "CM Punk Sweepstakes." Gall won the fight by submission just 45 seconds into the first round.[7]
Gall was initially expected to face Punk on June 4, 2016 at UFC 199, but the pairing was delayed after Punk suffered a herniated disc.[8] The fight eventually took place on September 10, 2016 at UFC 203.[9] Gall won the fight via submission in the first round.[10]
Gall is expected to face Sage Northcutt on December 17, 2016 at UFC on Fox 22.[11]
