Alex Morono has the chance to score his third victory of the year when facing Mickey Gall at UFC’s December 4th “Fight Night” event. The new welterweight matchup was confirmed Friday by Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie.
The fight joins a lineup that is expected to take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Morono has picked up two wins earlier this year.
He started his year with a victory over a veteran, stopping Donald Cerrone within a round in May. Returning four months later, Morono fought to a unanimous decision victory over David Zawada.
Gall returned to the win column with a quick performance in July, submitting Jordan Williams in the first round via rear naked choke. His previous fight was a 2020 loss to Mike Perry.
