Welterweights Mickey Gall, Randy Brown to Clash at UFC 217 in New York

Prospect Mickey Gall will make his fourth Octagon appearance when he faces Randy Brown at UFC 217.

Newsday was the first to report the welterweight booking. UFC 217 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York on Nov. 4 and is headlined by a middleweight championship tilt between Michael Bisping and Georges St. Pierre.

Gall rose to prominence thanks to a first-round submission of former WWE star CM Punk in his sophomore promotional outing at UFC 203. He then tapped out fellow prospect Sage Northcutt in the second round at UFC on Fox 22 on Dec. 17 to improve to 4-0 as a professional.

Brown, meanwhile, is 3-2 during his tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion. He last appeared at UFC 208, where he dropped a unanimous decision to Belal Muhammad. The Ring of Combat veteran is 9-2 since beginning his career in 2014.
