There's a reason they call Mike Jackson "The Truth."
The mixed martial arts (MMA) newcomer will make his Octagon debut against Mickey Gall on the UFC Fight Pass "Prelims" portion of the upcoming UFC Fight Night 82 event on FOX Sports 1, which takes place this Saturday night (Feb. 6, 2016) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gall was handpicked by UFC President Dana White to face CM Punk later this year, but only if the New Jersey native can beat Jackson this weekend in "Sin City." If Gall loses, however, there is no guarantee Jackson can step in and take his place.
