******* pumped for Grabowski. Picking with my heart when it comes to my Wonderboy TKO pick. I really think Hendricks will finish, if anything. Wonderboy got dropped by Burger and Johny took bombs from Lawler, so I'm prepared for this incorrect.

What happens if Gall beats Johnson and then Punk (very relevant scenario, in fact I think it's the one you'd get the worse odds on betting)? Then you've got a 2-0 guy (in the UFC) who's just beat 2 0-0 guys, what now? Do you keep briinging in guys he can fight safely without dying against? Do you fire a guy on a 2 fight win streak from the UFC?

Well Gall will then be known as the guy who beat CM Punk. So if I know the UFC, that will give him enough value to fight Lawler right away.  lololol

@yoss Well considering how they just had a guy who was 4-1 win the Ultimate Fighter in Ryan Hall, I would assume they would give Gall normal fights with lower card fighters after beating Jackson and Punk.  Granted that Hall is a different case than Gall, in that Hall is a multiple time BJJ tournament champion while Gall is not.  Still, I think Gall could potentially hold his own against the lower card guys on the UFC's main roster.  Whether he will or not remains to be seen.

you'd probably find they give one more medicore guy from each tuf or tuf latin america a shot against him. if he beats them all hes soon ready for the normal bottom end of the roster. if he looses to them you dont have to worry about dropping a guy on a winning streak any more.

I think at 3-0, the UFC would do something similar as they're doing with Northcutt. Which is keep him active every few months and just have him try to pick off the bottom guys of the division, building up his record.

probably the UFC will bump him up in level competition so he'll loose and they can cut him

I don't get why Michael Jackson wouldn't fight CM Punk if he beats Mickey Gall.
