Gall made his promotional debut on February 6, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 82, where he faced fellow newcomer Mike Jackson in what was billed as the "CM Punk Sweepstakes." Gall won the fight by submission just 45 seconds into the first round.

The fight eventually took place on September 10, 2016 at UFC 203. Gall won the fight via submission in the first round. After the fight, Gall challenged fellow up-and-comer Sage Northcutt and called him 'corny' in a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.

Gall next faced Sage Northcutt on December 17, 2016 at UFC on Fox 22. He won the fight via submission in the second round.
