Mickey Gall, a 1-0 fighter based out of New Jersey, threw his name into the mix as a potential first opponent for CM Punk in the UFC.
Gall commented on the matchup during an episode of the “Dana White: Looking for a Fight” reality series, a show White himself said could be a source to scout an opponent for Punk. The show, which is now on UFC Fight Pass but premieres on YouTube Monday, features Gall telling White he wants a shot at Punk.
Gall’s said (quotes credited to MMA Junkie):
“Hey Dana White, I don’t know if CM Punk has an opponent, but I would love to fight that man, CM Punk. Hey, CM Punk, I’m 1-0.”
White, who was ringside after Gall won his fight and made the remark, looked slightly surprised, but later told Gall during the post fight celebration that he liked where [Gall’s] head is at.
