UFC on FOX 24 will be broadcast throughout the restaurant providing fans an opportunity to catch all the action with the stars. In the evening’s main event, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson will defend his title against Wilson Reis.
Gall, 4-0 as a professional, also a New Jersey native, rose on the UFC scene last year after being signed to the organization while UFC President Dana White was filming a reality series called ‘Dana White: Lookin’ For a Fight.’
White and friends scour the land for top up and coming athletes to compete under the UFC banner.
Since signing with the UFC, Gall has remained undefeated with three wins in 2016, most notably over former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star “CM Punk.”
Both events are also being sponsored by the credit card processing company, Dependable Solutions, and the New Jersey based organization Free the Pitties, which helps find homes for pit bulls.
