10 Things We Know About CM Punk's UFC Opponent

4. He Won His UFC Debut In 45 Seconds Over Questionable Opposition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb5jzlQLlYU Forty-five seconds is all it took for Mickey Gall to win his UFC debut, and in the process secure his shot at the UFC's most infamous rookie, CM Punk. Following a strong right hand that sent opponent Michael Jackson to the canvas, Gall quickly took his back and locked in a rear-naked choke to claim victory. Gall is now 2-0 as a professional. He'll meet Punk probably sometime this Spring or Summer, Both UFC 199 and UFC 200 are distinct possibilities. The importance of the fight was not lost on the UFC nor Punk himself, who was in attendance. The promotion had the ex-wrestler ready to go, and he met Gall in the octagon after the bout. A handshake and a job well done were in place of any sort of manufactured heat: the build-up to the bout between these two has been extremely professional from both sides. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/696131418653523971 All that said, take Gall's first UFC victory with a big grain of salt: his opponent was Mike "The Truth" Jackson, a camera man for Legacy FC, a smaller promotion with a good relationship with the UFC. Jackson was 0-0 and had a one-fight contract; in short he was used to pad Gall's record. Consider this: Gall will now be the first modern-era UFC fighter to have 0-0 fighters as his first two opponents.
