Perry has supplied non-stop action for the company since he joined the roster in 2016. The Fusion X-Cel representative finds himself on a two-fight losing streak for just the second time in his career. Perry last appeared at UFC 245, where he succumbed to a first-round head kick and follow-up punches from Geoff Neal on Dec. 14. It followed a split decision defeat to Vicente Luque four months earlier and saw the Floridian’s UFC record fall to .500 at 6-6.
Gall rebounded from a technical knockout loss to Diego
Sanchez with a unanimous decision over Salim
Touahri at UFC on ESPN 5 in August. The outspoken New Jersey
native has compiled a 5-2 record inside the Octagon despite his
lack of experience, more than holding his own against decent
competition. Gall remains a work in progress on the feet.
As Perry and Gall approach their co-headliner, a look at some of the numbers that have come to define them:
28: Years of age for Perry. He was born in Flint, Michigan, on Sept. 15, 1991.
11: Perry victories by knockout or technical knockout. They account for 85 percent of his career total.
1: Submission loss on Perry’s resume. He tapped to an armbar from Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 139 in 2018.
7: First-round finishes for Perry, including a 79-second knee-strike knockout of Alex Reyes under the UFC Fight Night 116 banner a little less than three years ago.
4: Post-fight performance bonuses banked by Perry in 12 appearances in the UFC. He has been awarded “Performance of the Night” twice and “Fight of the Night” twice, resulting in $200,000 in additional income.
28: Years of age for Gall. He was born on Jan. 22, 1982 in Green Brook, New Jersey.
5: Gall wins by submission, all five by rear-naked choke. The David Adiv-trained Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has throttled Ron Templeton, Mike Jackson, Phil “CM Punk” Brooks, Sage Northcutt and George Sullivan.
45: Seconds needed for Gall to submit Jackson in his February 2016 promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 82. It remains the quickest finish of his eight-fight career.
20: Significant strikes landed by Gall in his rout of the aforementioned Brooks at UFC 203. The former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar connected with zero in return.
2: Gall fights that have gone the distance. He owns a 1-1 record in those bouts, having lost a unanimous decision to Randy Brown at UFC 217 and having outpointed Touahri at UFC on ESPN 5.
