Sage Northcutt Says Mickey Gall’s Last Fights Were Like ‘Fighting Someone’s Dad’

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Sage Northcutt brought up Mickey Gall’s experience in the UFC, specifically his last two opponents. Here are highlights:

On Mickey Gall’s UFC opponents: “I think just him going in and fighting two guys that had no fights — I think they were both close to 40 years old, too — it’s almost like fighting someone’s dad that only trained very little for a fight. It was definitely interesting if you think of it that way.”

On CM Punk’s fight: “CM Punk, that was awesome for him to get out there and have the guts to go out there and fight. Not everybody would do that. … That’s awesome for him. I think everybody kind of expected it to go the way it did.”

On Gall’s use of curse words: “I think a step too far was when he’s cussing and sending the curse words out there. I don’t know. He said that’s how he gets people’s attention, but I don’t know what people’s attention he’s trying to get if he’s cussing out there. Is it the families? The moms? The little kids that are watching? I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem very appropriate.”
