“I don’t remember tapping out”, Miocic said. “He wanted me to give him a shot, I gave him a shot”. Gall called out Sage Northcutt in an epic post-fight interview.

OFFICIAL RESULTS: Mickey Gall def. CM Punk by submission (rear-naked choke).
Mickey Gall, 24, used a rear naked choke to make Punk (Phil Brooks) tap out at 2:14 in the first round of their pay-per-view welterweight (170 pound) matchup from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. “I don’t know what happens from here on out”, said Punk during the UFC 203 post-fight press conference. It was a hell of a climb.
There was certainly an element of a gimmick about it as many have said that this is as close as the public will ever get to seeing a complete, professional mixed martial artist fight a civilian.
“He probably shouldn’t have his next fight in the UFC”, White told The Fight Network following Saturday’s event.
Gall immediately took Punk to the ground with a double-leg takedown. The youngster ducked a wild punch from Punk and scooped him by both legs and took him to the mat.
“I like to take a challenge and this was hell of a mountain”. “I think there’s still money to be made on him”.
“I wouldn’t know if it was an experiment”, White replied. We’ll see in the coming days, weeks, and months what happened with the former WWE Champion, though.
Following his lackluster performance at UFC 203, CM Punk admitted that he is uncertain about his future spot on the MMA organization’s roster and says his Octagon meeting with Gall could be his last.

Rogan then turned his attention to Punk, who said this was the second best day of his life – the first marrying former WWE Diva AJ Lee. I know there’s a lot of doubters, but listen, life’s about falling down and getting back up. When his music hit “A Cult of Personality” it gave many CM Punk fans flash backs of the good ole days when punk would come out to the WWE ring and deliver a pipe bomb.
