Mickey Gall won’t fight at UFC on ESPN 7, after all.
Gall (6-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) originally was scheduled to meet Carlos Condit (30-13 MMA, 7-9 UFC) in a welterweight bout on next week’s card, but the former interim UFC champion had to pull out of the matchup because of an eye injury.
There were discussions about finding a replacement opponent for Gall, but ultimately it didn’t come to fruition. A UFC official on Tuesday told MMA Junkie that Gall will not compete at the event.
UFC on ESPN 7 takes place Dec. 7 at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. The card airs on ESPN following early prelims on ESPN+.
