The two young fighters have fought a war of words recently.
“I think just him going in and fighting two guys that had no fights — I think they were both close to 40 years old, too — it’s almost like fighting someone’s dad that only trained very little for a fight,” Northcutt said last month on The MMA Hour after Gall called him “corny” in a post-fight interview earlier this year. “It was definitely interesting if you think of it that way.”
Both the 20-year-old Northcutt and the 24-year-old Gall are products of the “Looking for a Fight” reality television show. Northcutt is 8-1 while Gall is undefeated in his three bouts.
