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 as 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 next faced Sage Northcutt on December 17, 2016, at UFC on Fox 22.[11] He won the fight via submission in the second round.[12]

Gall faced Randy Brown on November 4, 2017, at UFC 217.[13] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[14]

Gall faced George Sullivan on August 25, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 135.[15] He won the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the first round. This is Gall's 5th rear-naked choke finish in 5 career wins.[16]
