10 Things We Know About CM Punk's UFC Opponent

3. A Brown Belt In Jiu-jitsu, He Has Solid Submission Skills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JePtldbrTc Of his two professional MMA fights, Mickey Gall has finished both by submission. Both were rear-naked chokes, which appears to be his bread and butter at this point. Throw in one of his amateur bouts, which he also won by rear-naked choke, and it would seem that Punk would be wise to ensure that Gall does not take his back at any point in their pending match-up. The good news is, jiu-jitsu is the one area Punk had some experience in prior to moving to MMA. The big question, however, is how comfortable he is defending against submissions. Training to use them is one thing, training to defend something else entirely. In any case, Gall's approach seems to be knock 'em down, choke 'em out.
