Keys to Victory

Mickey Gall

  1. Get the fight to the mat early using his six-submission win base before Reese can settle into his power striking rhythm.
  2. Work the clinch and body lock to minimize damage while dragging Reese into the grappling battles he excels in.
  3. Use patient footwork and avoid trading in the pocket with a natural middleweight who has genuine knockout power.

Zachary Reese

  1. Exploit Gall's size disadvantage at the new weight class by landing heavy shots before Gall can clinch and grapple.
