Mickey Gall says a pre-fight medical issue made him ineligible
to face Sedriques Dumas
Gall claims the UFC pulled him from the fight. He said the UFC
informed him on Sept. 24 that something on his pre-fight medical
tests made him ineligible to fight. Gall is disappointed as he was
looking forward to giving his fans a win, having not won since
2021. The 34-year-old vows to be back once he has got the situation
sorted.
“I have been pulled back from this fight by the UFC,” Gall said on
Instagram. “I was contacted this morning. Something came back on my
medicals that [is] making me ineligible via simple procedure. I
will be back. It sucks. I have overcome a lot to be here. And it’s
not lost on me that I’ve done a lot of losing in there. I wanted to
give my friends, my family, my fans something to cheer about. And
I’ve worked really hard for that. Unfortunately, that’s not gonna
be able to happen this weekend. But once I get this situated and
straightened out, I will be back.”
Gall (7-7) made his UFC debut in just his sophomore professional
outing in 2016. After a promising start with three consecutive
finishes, Gall then alternated between wins and losses. He went on
a four-fight slump starting in 2021 and hasn’t fought since
2024.
