Mickey Gall earned his place in the octagon on the back of Phil “CM Punk” Brooks, a WWE wrestler looking to change careers. But this isn’t the only thing he’s picked up from famed CM Punk it seems.
He’s been all about provoking a reaction from UFC’s rising star Sage Northcutt.
Gall called for a wager in which the Loser of their match would shave their head. The idea has been out there for a while and now there’s finally a response from Sage.
“That’s pretty funny,” said Sage to Damon Martin for FOX Sports. “I think he’s actually just trying to get some attention. Maybe he should go ahead and shave his head now to get some attention.”
“I really take it as a compliment. If they’re calling me out that tells me something and that’s nice of them to be calling me out.”
After all Gall claims he’s all round better as he told MMA fighting:
“I’m better on the feet, better on the ground, tougher than him, endurance, everything,” added Gall. “When we jump in the fire, he’s hopping out of the fire way before I am. … It could go quick. I”m ready for three hard ones. I’m going to get the finish. I’d like to get a knockout in the first, but smart money is I’ll choke him out in the second.”
And Gall didn’t stay on that, he also claimed Sage would never make it in Jersey:
“He’d find himself in a locker. He’d probably kick his way out of a locker, I’ll give him that. … He seems very ingenuine. I say corny like a dork, but its an ingenuinty, he’s putting on.”
