Mike Perry dominating NAGA Gall

Perry basically out muscled him the grappling exchanges, all the takedowns were pure strength

They are both pro fighters of the same age and official weight. Strength isn't an excuse for such a discrepancy of control time on the mat.
 
Gall is not a UFC caliber fighter.

That aside, Gall was clearly the better striker when both guys were fresh. He was legit piecing him up and used cleaner technique. Gall doesn't have a gas tank and he's not athletic enough to be in the UFC. Simple as that.
 
It was 29-28. Why are people overeating Perry's lackluster performance against a guy who shouldnt be in the UFC. This isn't a respectable win
 
I had Perry 30 - 27 in a pretty comfortable decision win. Hard to believe that fight was the co-main event. Gall is probably not even Top 40 at WW at Perry might not be Top 25 WW. Poirier vs. Hooker next up was a classic. Hard to believe that made it to the judge's score cards. I thought Dustin was going to stop him, but give Hooker credit, he stuck around until the final horn.

There was some discrepancy for sure, but the strength definitely helped. As I pointed out, Sanchez dominated him even more on the ground. Hell, Randy Brown beat him up on the ground too.

Gall just isn’t very good off his back. I think this was more of a reflection of that than Perry being a grappling whiz. Not that Perry is trash on the ground, he’s not. He showed some ability for sure. I just think TS and several others are overstating how impressive it was. But you’re free to disagree.

If he's "not that good of his back" and can't get to top position, then he's simply not a good grappler.

He’s not bad on top, but he’s not good on bottom. So draw whatever conclusion from that you wish. If you think that makes him a bad grappler, then that proves my point. Perry out grappling him isn’t as impressive as some are making it out to be.

Perry looked like shit, lol.

He got touched up by Gall for like 9 minutes till he gassed. Gall's striking sucks, if he would have been in there with a good striker he would have got lit the fuck up.

Looked stiff and poor distance measurement for the first two rounds.

Perry actually looked much improved with his ground game,

but he was getting beat to the punch way more often than he should against a guy with the stand up reputation that Gall has,

which is probably because of rust, he has no gym affiliation and basically seems to just train when he can

So you’re saying he has potential?!:)

It's a colloqiual , ethnically-neutral greeting in the U.S. When you're greeting someone, you say "What's up, my NAGA". Try it in Chicago's south-side.

He dominated every second of that fight and knocked Gall down

You're the smooth brain that thought Gall was going to win lmfaooooooo

He looked better than ever, he just ran into an infinitely superior fighter.

Lol. Dominated every second,but still managed to lose the first round.

Both guys looked like absolute shit. A bumfight between two guys who don't belong in the UFC.

I don't think Gall has a long career fighting. I feel he started training early and is already burned out. He'll catch a few beatings and retire early like Dustin Hazelett.

I think he was rushed into the UFC and fed crap competition early on by fighting other guys who never would have been successful in the UFC like CM Punk and Mike Jackson, then he fought Sage Northcutt who was another guy that was rushed into the UFC too soon. Gall would have been better off fighting in a different org for a while to gain more experience, but hard to turn down a UFC contract when you’re a young fighter.

It's definitely a lot easier to look good next to someone who put in the effort that Gall did. Gall gassed out in a round again and often looked like a stiff breeze would knock him down in the last two rounds. We all saw what happened to Perry when he fought someone who knows what he's doing in Cerrone and that's Cowboy's last win at WW.

Perry's ceiling isn't very high and Gall's is practically nonexistent.

If Perry finds a team who can teach him to fight technical he is definitely top 10 material. He got raw talent and little brain but if a coach can stir him in certain direction, he can be a problem.

Sanchez also did that to KenFlo.

his BJJ is pretty good
 
Perry has improved his ground game an cardio immensely as well as a really good TDD. If dude would allow himself to be properly trained n be disciplined he would be a better version of Masvidal n one of best fighters at WW - maybe not Usman level but top 5.
 
definitely wouldnt call gall a wrestling specialist, hes wrestling isnt good at all

No.

Why exaggerate? Perry *clearly* won the fight...but he most certainly did not 'dominate every second' of it.
 
I think this shows Gall is far from the top 10 and Till would cave Perrys face in.
