Has Mickey Gall's contract been cut by the UFC?

UFC 217: Brown v Gall
UFC 217: Randy Brown v Mickey Gall

It's recently been reported that Mickey Gall is no longer under contract with the UFC. He is currently a free agent after losing back-to-back bouts in the organization.

Gall lost against Alex Morono and Mike Malott in his most recent outings, but still has the option to rejoin the UFC.

Gall has spent most of his professional MMA career under the UFC banner, first joining the organization with a 1-0 record in 2016. The American is most famous for being WWE wrestler CM Punk's first fight in the UFC. Gall is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and remains a solid challenge for many opponents.

After winning his first three UFC bouts, Mickey Gall failed to win back-to-back fights for the rest of his organizational career. During the winning streak, Gall managed to beat Mike Jackson, CM Punk and Sage Northcutt.

However, Gall failed to fulfill his expected potential, suffering losses against Randy Brown, Diego Sanchez, Mike Perry, Alex Morono and Mike Malott. The 30-year-old still has the option to re-sign with the UFC, but currently remains removed from the official roster.

The MMA fighter is yet to announce his next career move as of yet. Gall could transition to the likes of Eagle FC or PFL and could do well for himself in either organization.


Which organizations has Mickey Gall fought in besides the UFC?

As mentioned, Mickey Gall has only fought once as a professional fighter outside of the UFC. Gall made his debut at Dead Serious 17 and beat Ron Templeton via submission in the first round. The American also competed three times as an amateur, fighting under three different banners during his short amateur career.

The 30-year-old made his amateur debut at CFFC 32: Stripling vs. Anyanwu, beating Woodmy Jean via unanimous decision. Gall's only other amateur fights both finished via submission, with the American submitting Joseph Morrison at WCC 11 and Marvin Nino at Dead Serious 15.

As mentioned, Mickey Gall is no longer on the UFC roster. He may compete in a different organization for just the second time in his professional MMA career. If Gall decides to stay under the UFC banner, he will have to pick up his form soon.
