What Mickey Gall asks for, Mickey Gall gets. First, he campaigned for a fight with CM Punk and was granted that bout, defeating him in under three minutes. When he got on the mic after that fight, he asked to take on fellow Lookin' For A Fight alum Sage Northcutt.
Well, his wish has been granted. The UFC confirmed the bout for a December Fox show just a little while ago:
Gall tweeted about it right after the bout was announced:
Gall (3-0, 2-0 UFC) has won all three of his pro bouts in under three minutes, and all by submission. Northcutt (8-1, 3-1 UFC) bounced back from his first career loss to Bryan Barberena by taking a unanimous decision win over Enrique Marin at UFC 200. It appears the bout will take place at welterweight, which is where Northcutt lost to Barberena. Most of his other pro bouts have been at 165 or 155 pounds.
UFC on Fox 22 goes down in Sacramento on December 17th. The headliner for the card has not been announced as of yet.
