Welterweight prospect Mickey Gall is ready to make his Madison Square Garden debut.

On Tuesday, UFC officials confirmed that Gall will face Randy Brown at UFC 217 on Nov. 4 at “The World’s Most Famous Arena” in New York City, N.Y., following an initial report by Newsday.

Gall (4-0) has an unblemished record in three Octagon appearances, with rear-naked choke submission victories over Sage Northcutt, CM Punk, and Mike Jackson. The 25-year-old New Jersey native was signed by the UFC after catching Dana White’s eye on the president’s Lookin’ for a Fight reality show.

Brown (9-2) was also discovered on Lookin’ for a Fight, and he has gone 3-2 since joining the UFC in January 2016. Most recently, he saw a two-fight win streak come to an end when he was outpointed by Belal Muhammad.

UFC 217 will be headlined by a trio of title fights, with middleweight champion Michael Bisping taking on the returning Georges St-Pierre, Cody Garbrandt defending the bantamweight title against T.J. Dillashaw, and Joanna Jedrzejczyk looking for her sixth consecutive strawweight title defense against Rose Namajunas.
