Just moments after spoiling the mixed martial arts debut of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion CM Punk at UFC 203 yesterday (September 10, 2016), Mickey Gall took yet another opportunity with the mic in his hands to call out a fellow fighter to throw down with.

Gall called out fellow Looking For A Fight alumni ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt to a scrap at the UFC’s upcoming mega-show from Madison Square Garden in November for UFC 205.

That fight seemed to spark interest amongst the MMA fan-base, and apparently Sage’s team as well.

UFC President Dana White spoke to Megan Olivi shortly after the pay-per-view (PPV) event and revealed that the 20-year-old’s camp is also interested in throwing down with Gall:

“After he called him out Sage’s team hit me up, and they want the fight so we’ll make it happen. “

Northcutt (8-1) is coming off of a unanimous decision win over Enrique Marin at UFC 200 this past July, and is a young up-and-coming prospect who is competing in both the UFC’s 155 and 170-pound divisions.

The young Katy, Texas Native suffered his first professional MMA career loss under the UFC’s banner when he was submitted by Bryan Barberena in the second round of their contest back in January via arm-triangle choke.

Northcutt has since bounced back with a win over Marin, and a bout with Gall is certainly going to be a crucial test for both young men going forward in their professional combat careers.

Mickey Gall vs. CM Punk Full Fight Video Highlights

After more than a year-and-a-half of speculation, former WWE champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks finally made his awaited MMA debut when he faced 24-year-old prospect Mickey Gall on the main card of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

After more than a year-and-a-half of speculation, former WWE champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks finally made his awaited MMA debut when he faced 24-year-old prospect Mickey Gall on the main card of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The odds were skewed in Gall’s favor, and the actual result didn’t fail to live up to that billing in any way. Gall immediately shot for a takedown and completed it, opening up the floodgates for a brutal beating that eventually lead to a rear-naked choke submission, forcing Punk to tap in just 2:14.

It was a chilling reality check, and confirmation for those that believed Punk simply didn’t belong to be fighting in the Octagon. Nevertheless, the star pro wrestler said it was the second greatest of his life, and would be back.

Here are the full fight video highlights of his one-sided loss:

After almost two years of speculation, hype, and disappointment, former WWE heavyweight champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks will finally make his awaited (?) Octagon debut against green prospect Mickey Gall on the main card of this weekend’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Brooks was originally unveiled as the biggest pro wrestling star to cross over and attempt mixed martial arts at December 6, 2014’s UFC 181, but a struggle to find him a suitable opponent coupled with delays in his development and a subsequent injury have pushed the bout off until now.

Few are giving Punk much of a chance against Gall, even though the 24-year-old only has two professional fights and two amateur bouts on his resume. To his credit, Gall, who was originally found on Dana White’s ‘Looking For A Fight,’ has finished three of those four total bouts, including his quick win over Mike Jackson in his UFC debut at February’s UFC Fight Night 82.

Regardless of if Punk can actually put up a fight (or even win), the fight is finally approaching, and the MMA world will be tuning in no matter what their feelings are about Brooks’ controversial debut. However, let’s hope that the fight isn’t put into any kind of jeopardy, as Gall showed up sporting a decent amount of stitches over his right eye in today’s (Sun., September 4, 2016) CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall Joe Rogan Preview from the UFC.
