Gall will be disappointed as he was looking forward to giving his fans a win as he has not won since 2021. The 34-year-old promises he will be back once he has sorted out the situation.
“UFC pulled me from this fight,” Gall said on Instagram. “I was contacted this morning. Something came back with my doctors that (has) made me ineligible for a simple procedure. I’m coming back. It sucks. I’ve overcome a lot by being here. And it hasn’t gone away that I’ve lost a lot there. I wanted to give my friends, my family, my fans something to be happy about this weekend. Unfortunately, it can’t happen because it’s not going to happen. But when I get it sorted and cleared up, I’ll be back.
