Mickey Gall doesn’t exactly have a wealth of experience in mixed martial arts, but he has more than enough to be deemed the favorite against Octagon rookie CM Punk.

UFC President Dana White, who discovered Gall on his reality series “Looking for a Fight,” said that the promotion was initially targeting UFC 199 in June as as a potential landing spot for the matchup.
Gall’s victory over Jackson was just his second professional mixed martial arts triumph, as he debuted last November, choking out Ron Templeton at a Dead Serious MMA event. Punk, a former WWE superstar, signed with the UFC in December 2014 and has been training at Roufusport in Milwaukee in preparation for his Octagon -- and MMA -- debut.
