Stellar clinch work, strong takedown defense and improved standup carried Mickey Gall to a unanimous decision over Salim Touahri in a three-round welterweight battle. A short-notice substitution for Zelim Imadaev, Gall (6-2, 5-2 UFC) swept the scorecards with 29-28 marks from all three judges.
The American Top Team-trained Touahri (10-4, 0-3 UFC) connected with a number of left hooks but too often operated behind a single-strike approach. Gall was the busier man, routinely closed the distance and piled up points at close range with elbow strikes, short punches and positional advances.
Touahri now finds himself on a three-fight losing streak.
