UFC on ESPN 12 results: With only girlfriend in corner, Mike Perry snaps skid against Mickey Gall

Mike Perry is back in the win column.

The UFC welterweight picked up a decision win over Mickey Gall in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 12. The event went down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and aired on ESPN and streamed on ESPN+. Perry won 29-28 across the three judges’ scorecards.

Perry (14-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) entered UFC on ESPN 12 with controversy, as he only planned to have his girlfriend in his corner rather than coaches. Despite being questioned on how he seriously he was taking the fight, Perry had one of the better performances of his career.

The first round was the closest round of the fight. Both Gall (6-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) and Perry exchanged well on the feet, but it seemed Gall landed the cleaner shots. Perry did get a late takedown, but it was clear Gall had done the most damage.

From that point on, it was all Perry in the second and third rounds. Perry walked Gall down and landed big shots. “Platinum” also switched things up and got several takedowns in the second and third rounds and landed solid ground-and-pound and held dominant positions.

With the victory, Perry snapped a two-fight skid that had critics questioning his ceiling. Perry expressed in his post-fight interview wanting to move to South Florida to look for a training camp in which he can settle down and prepare for his future fights.

Meanwhile, Gall has been alternating wins and losses since 2017. The 28-year-old fighter was coming off a decision win over Salim Touahri in August 2019.
