Gall is more skilled in every area IMO. Not much tape on Gall BUT what you do see, he looks good in all of it.
Not Very high on the skills of Brown..he is decent is every area....nothing special

Hard to assess galls striking especially getting knocked down by sage but I think he should be able grapple his way to beat brown.

Definitely disagree that he is better "in every area". I think this is a pure grappler vs. striker matchup.

Luckily the striker in this case isn't very aggressive. I think Brown by TKO is the hedge

[Shagdogy]

Paper, I'm with you. I don't know about "every area" as you say, but I think the biggest advantage in this fight is Gall over Brown on the mat. Brown's length really hurts him when he gets put on his back. He has a real hard time getting his legs inside and creating space to get up so he gets flattened out on his back by good grapplers. He also doesn't have any getups other than to turtle, but then he gets his back taken. This is real bad vs. Gall who has a very good RNC. I know his level of competition has been real poor, but Gall has shown good strength and good timing on his takedowns. I do think he will be able to get Brown to the mat.

Almost impossible to say, but I felt he dealt with Sage's speed and movement pretty well. He used a decently accurate, straight jab to throw down the middle and cut Sage off in his back and forth movement. He caught Sage's kick to land a takedown, and he dropped Sage with a huge right off the break from a clinch. Did Gall get dropped by Sage? Hard to tell, but if it was a knockdown he recovered quickly.

[firekillex]

its tough to gauge fighters this young and green... the last fight with gall could be a completely different guy... of course his main weapon is the RNC but his striking couldve developed light years since his last scrap... these kinda fights are never a lock imo , tread carefully

[TPowell]

Even if not Erick Montano was nip and tuck with brown for 2+ rounds before he got subbed and he's one of the worst in the roster at lw

[MMANick]

I think Gall will get enough TD''s on Brown to win this scrap, he might even SUB him.

[PaperTrail07]

totally agree.....and Gall is smart....he knows how to keep it there.....Gall also has a lot of heart....True Fighter

Gall-110......be -135 by fight time?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

with you on GALL

[MMANick]

It'll be higher.

[PaperTrail07]

NICE PEAVY....GLAD YOU SEE WHAT I SEE


It's fight week baby!!! I hope I get to bleed again idc I'll die for this shiz you gotta kill me

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Gall says there are a lot of things in his bag of tricks that he has not shown yet

[TPowell]

Damn, knew I should have jumped on that + money. Should I wait it out? Capped him at -160 so -110 is as low as I can really go.

[TPowell]

No clue what people are thinking in this Blaydes fight. -400 on a solid wrestler with zero striking against a sub ace who also has no striking to speak of at HEAVYWEIGHT? I really thought this line would be around -200 or so at best

[PaperTrail07]

-117 now

[turbozed]

I'm on Brown pretty heavy. Might add even more. Please someone tell me what they are seeing in Mickey Gall that gives them confidence. Specifically, what separates Gall from any skilled but one dimensional no-gi grappling dude,and what moments you've seen of his game in MMA that lead you to believe that. I've asked in a few threads now and haven't gotten a satisfactory answer.

Please save me from losing money on Brown who I admit is somewhat of a flakey fighter, but who has shown more of his ability to win against UFC caliber fighters in orders of magnitude more than Gall.

Hey bro, what specifically do you see?

[PaperTrail07]

Brown beat BRIAN camozzi and Eric Montano-He lost to Belal in a CLEAR 30-27....I don't see much more of an ability to win UFC caliber fights than Gall....Brown is shit on the ground and Gall can get it there IMO.....he also appears to have better boxing and the speed advantage, tougher chin....

So you're going with strength of opponents?

In what moments of what fights does he show good boxing and speed or TD ability?

Sorry for the questions but I have multiple units on Brown now and I still have time to lay off and this could save me some cash. Thanks PT!

[PaperTrail07]

And like I was saying before...there is not much tape on GALL and what tape there is, looks good.....finishes the fights....no decisions vs people he SHOULD be finishing....And while Gall is somewhat new to the UFC...he has seen the big stage

[PaperTrail07]

That was in response to this.....like he has some deep UFC career beating people that are on the ufc level LOL

Okay so you disagree that Randy Brown has proven himself more capable of beating UFC fighters than Gall has. And that he looks good in general but nothing specifically. Thanks for taking the time to answer man.

[PaperTrail07]

I thought his speed looked good in all his fights...Sage fight included......he atleast showed a brain and did what he needed to as well....good TD....threw in the body lock....kept position...ect....I mean what in Brown makes you think he is the lock of the century worth MULTIPLE units?

[PaperTrail07]

For sure...personally if Brown won this....I would guess he tires gall out....gets a TD and gall pulls guard thinking he might sub brown...which wont happen from the bottom....Id say GL but we are on opposite sides LOL..

Gall has not yet fought more than a round and a half against a well rounded fighter. He has faced about 20 seconds of real diversity in the Sage fight. His takedowns are weak and telegraphed and probably nowhere near as good as Graves or even Belal. If he can't land a takedown, he gets pieced up. Gall has not seen the 3rd round in pro career. He gassed holding onto a guillotine against Gordon Ryan within 6 mins of a pure grappling match. He walks out to the song "Hey Mickey." I can do a more technical breakdown but I first want to find the most fatal flaw in my reasoning here.

Oh yeah one more thing, he employed the buttscoot for a second there against Sage.

[PaperTrail07]

LOL...I agree his TD are not as good as Graves....graves is a quick MF'er...BUT his hands will set them up better IMO....Gall is a bit wreckless which MAY actually help him here...to an elite fighter...it would get him KO'd...but I don't see Brown taking advantage of it....He can change that fight song ANYTIME

If he does change his walkout song I'll consider my bet toast

[hawkeye 16]

I'm going to ride the Gall train. He's a bad mofo. My local doesn't do UFC, but I can get a little bit down through a buddy's offshore account. I have to figure this bitcoin crap out.

[JIBBBY]

If Gal can take the fight to the ground I like his chances, if he can't I like the Striking of Brown better.. All depends if it stays standing or not I believe, just that simple.. Gal does have some wild striking and some power though..

I think I'm going with Gal by sub.. May Hedge Brown ITD though as I mentioned in the Event Thread...

The old saying goes always bet on Black so you never know??? ....

[TPowell]

Tough fight but give me the guy with the best chance of finishing and the more aggressive fighter. Galls gas tank is a legit question though

[PaperTrail07]

Also on over 1.5...
