Mickey Gall stayed ready for a short notice opportunity, and when the UFC came calling with an offer to fight Mike Perry, he was more than happy to accept.
According to the 28-year-old New Jersey native, Perry’s name has previously been floated to him, but for whatever reason, a fight never came together. Now, the welterweights will serve as the co-main event for UFC on ESPN 12 on Saturday at UFC APEX.
Considering Gall’s entry into the UFC was originally based around a showdown with former WWE superstar CM Punk, he’s well aware of the spotlight that shines every time he competes.
