Zachary Reese outpoints Mickey Gall at UFC Vegas 123

Zachary Reese earned a unanimous decision over Mickey Gall on the preliminary card of UFC Vegas 123 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, with all three judges scoring the fight 29-27, MMA Fighting reported.

The result ends a two-fight skid for Reese, who had dropped back-to-back bouts. His most recent recorded fight before this one was a first-round KO/TKO loss to Ryan Gandra at UFC 329 on July 11, 2026, and before that he lost a split decision to Michel Pereira in February. The 32-year-old from W4R Training Center now stands at 10-2 if this win is added to his previous 9-2 mark. The American switch-stance fighter's most recent recorded win came by second-round submission over Jackson McVey in November 2025.

Reese brings a significant physical edge into most fights. He stands six-foot-four (193 cm) with a 77-inch (196 cm) reach, and his career numbers show a well-rounded attack: 4.24 significant strikes landed per minute at 53 percent accuracy, plus 2.82 takedowns and 1.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes.

Gall, 34, entered the bout at 7-7 and now carries a fourth straight recorded loss. The Kill Cliff FC product had been stopped by Ramiz Brahimaj in the first round at UFC 309 in November 2024, and lost a unanimous decision to Bassil Hafez at UFC 302 that June. His career output sits at 3.5 significant strikes per minute with 49 percent accuracy, along with 1.15 takedowns and 1.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes.

Why it matters

• Reese snaps a two-fight losing streak and avoids what would have been a third straight defeat.
• Gall's recorded losing run extends to four, a stretch that includes two first-round stoppages.
• Reese held a three-inch reach advantage (77 inches to 74) and a two-inch height edge over Gall, and he also out-lands Gall on career striking volume by roughly three-quarters of a strike per minute.

The 29-27 scorecards across the board suggest Reese took two of the three rounds on every judge's card, a clear if not dominant margin.
