MICKEY GALL VS JORDAN WILLIAMS LOWDOWN
Mickey Gall (6-3) heads to the APEX hoping to disprove his limitations. He gained a lot of hype after submitting Sage Northcutt but got found out by Randy Brown (unanimous decision), Diego Sanchez (TKO) and Mike Perry (unanimous decision). He broke up those losses with the fifth rear-naked choke of his career and a unanimous decision over Salim Touahri but that loss to Perry where he got outclassed everywhere proved he still has a long way to go.
Jordan Williams (9-4(1)) has also struggled in his young career, but he has amassed some good experience for a variety of promotions including Bellator where he won both of his fights. He knocked out Brandon Hester and Diego Herzog to get a second shot on the Contender Series but failed the audition losing a split decision to Ramazan Kurmagomedov. He then got a third chance on the series 14 months later and picked up his biggest win knocking out Gregory Rodrigues in the first round. That finally earnt him his debut, but he got paired with a monster, Nassourdine Imavov losing a majority decision.
MICKEY GALL VS JORDAN WILLIAMS PREDICTION
Williams drops down to welterweight for this clash but he will still be giving up two inches in reach and one in height. However, that will only aid Gall on the ground as Williams should have the edge on the feet.
That said, Gall’s stand-up is improving, and Williams has very suspect defence. So, Gall may try and get a feel on the feet, but it should be a matter of time before he tries to take the fight to the floor and set up a back-take.
This is good matchmaking as both fighters only have one stand-out win on their records (Gall – Northcutt and Williams – Rodrigues) and whoever wins will save their UFC career. If the fight hits the deck, you have to favour Gall to at least control the fight, but Williams has great takedown defence which could force a stand-up battle.
Expect an even first couple rounds before they both tire to loosen up the fight in the third. If Williams’ weight cut goes smoothly, we are backing him to finish stronger and seal a decision.
