A welterweight bout between Sage Northcutt and Mickey Gall -- two highly touted prospects -- has been booked to UFC Fight Night on Dec. 17 in Sacramento, California.

The televised event is scheduled to take place at Golden 1 Center. The UFC has not yet announced any other fights on the card.

Gall (3-0) is eager to move on with his UFC career following a dominant first-round victory over former professional wrestler CM Punk last month.

Fighting out of New Brunswick, New Jersey, the 24-year-old Gall is 2-0 in the UFC with quick finishes over CM Punk and Mike Jackson. He called out CM Punk shortly after his professional debut in 2015 as a way to shorten his path to the UFC, but has repeatedly stated he's looking forward to more difficult opponents.

Immediately after submitting CM Punk via rear-naked choke at UFC 203 in Cleveland, Gall publicly called for a fight against Northcutt, whom he referred to as "corny."

Northcutt (8-1) has compiled a record of 3-1 since signing with the UFC late last year. His only loss came to Bryan Barberena in January, when he accepted a late change in opponent and weight class after his original bout fell through.

The 20-year-old Northcutt is coming off a decision win against Enrique Marin at UFC 200 on July 9. He fights out of Katy, Texas.
