Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie about the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Gall, 34, was expected to come off a near two-year layoff in September vs. Cedriques Dumas was supposed to return, but was pulled out of the preliminaries days ago when he did not receive medical clearance. It appears that the issue has been rectified, however, and Gall is back on his mission to snap a four-fight losing skid.
Reese, 32, is also looking to get back on track. After winning over Jackson McVey in November, Reese went back to losing fights with Michel Pereira and Ryan Gandra.
