Mickey Gall experienced kidney failure before Diego Sanchez fight at UFC 235

The way Mickey Gall tells it, he’s lucky to have only taken a loss at UFC 235.

At a glance, Gall’s matchup with Diego Sanchez couldn’t have been a better showcase for him. A veteran opponent with a respected name, one that Gall himself had called out months earlier. The bright lights of Las Vegas. And what looked to be an opportunity for Gall to dominate given his size advantage, high-level grappling, and relative youth.

The actual fight couldn’t have gone worse for Gall.

Sanchez, as he has throughout his 29-fight UFC career, pushed the pace and Gall appeared to have no answer for the “Nightmare”.
