UFC middleweight Zach Reese secured a victory over Mickey Gall despite battling a high fever throughout fight week, according to a report by MMA Junkie journalists Matt Erickson and Jeronimo Guerra published on November 3, 2026.
Reese entered the octagon while dealing with significant illness that persisted during the final days of preparation. The fever presented an additional challenge beyond the standard rigors of weight cutting and fight preparation, yet the fighter managed to perform well enough to earn the win over veteran welterweight Gall.
The bout marked another step forward for Reese in his UFC career, demonstrating resilience in adverse physical conditions. Gall, a seasoned competitor with notable victories in the promotion, was unable to capitalize on his opponent's compromised state.
Details regarding the specific event, fight card placement, and method of victory were not disclosed in the initial report. The win adds to Reese's professional record while handing Gall a setback in his continued UFC tenure.
