Gall has been aggressively campaigning for a tango with Northcutt after he dominated Phil “CM Punk” Brooks last month at UFC 203. Gall was gifted the fight of a lifetime by getting Brooks in just his third professional outing, and now he gets the chance to take down a man the UFC has fully put their monster marketing machine behind in his follow-up bout.
Northcutt, meanwhile, bounced back from the only loss of his carer by posting a unanimous decision victory over Enrique Marin in July.
UFC on FOX 22 takes place December 17 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
