This Saturday, on the main card of UFC 203, WWE import CM Punk<\/a> will take his first steps into the perilous world of MMA. He’ll do so opposite 24-year-old prospect Mickey Gall<\/a>, who was awarded the opportunity on the basis of a CM Punk callout at a regional MMA show.<\/p>\n

Until Punk signed with the UFC<\/a>, he had no real martial arts experience. Gall, meanwhile, has a long history in the martial arts, ranging from success on the grappling circuit<\/a>, to a perfect amateur MMA record. Given this, the young fighter is expected to blow through<\/a> the pro wrestler when the cage door closes on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Of course, if Gall wins, he’ll find himself at a bit of an interesting juncture. Though he is far more experienced than Punk, he himself is just 2-0 as an amateur mixed martial artist \u2013 still incredibly green, to say the least. Given his experience, it’s hard to imagine a logical next-step for him in the shark-ridden waters of the UFC welterweight division.<\/p>\n

Well, as it turns out, Gall has done a bit of preplanning to prepare for this possibility.\u00a0According to Ariel Helwani, the young fighter has plans to call out one fighter in particular, should he beat Punk this Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n

Gall says he has name to call out after he wins. "It got me to the dance, so I'll keep dancing with that."<\/p>\n
