Mickey Gall’s callout of Phil “CM Punk” Brooks landed him in the UFC, one win away from a shot at the former WWE superstar.
Gall (2-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) fought Mike Jackson (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 82 with Brooks at ringside. He wasted little time in landing a right hand that dropped Jackson before taking the back and securing a rear-naked choke for the victory. The end came at the 0:45 mark of Round 1.
While Gall and Brooks met in the octagon following the bout, an injury to Brooks delayed the fight.
You can watch the full video of the bout, which took place Feb. 6 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, above.
