CM Punk gives inspiring speech after his quick defeat at UFC 203

I will be back believe it or not, this was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t know. I think that’s a possibility. He judged Punk to be different from the rest of the fighters and even went on to say he ain’t a fighter at all. I’m just really, really hard on myself. “It was lopsided and it’s upsetting”. I don’t know, you know what I mean?

“He probably shouldn’t have his next fight in the UFC, you know?”. “It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, you get back up”. He added he’d train in the gym on Monday if his ear and eye weren’t injured; stitches marked the former while the latter was badly swollen and bloody.

Since he still wants to continue fighting, the question in most people’s minds is where does he end up competing next? He agreed that there is still a truckload of money that can be made off Punk’s name, courtesy of his star power, and said that eventually, Punk would be back for another fight.

At the outset, Punk, who was making his not only his UFC but mixed martial arts debut, charged toward the center of The Octagon, Gall shot in and was successful with a takedown. Punk also insisted that he will be back for another shot to earn his first win. I wanted to perform. After almost two years of training at Roufusport, Punk’s first Octagon foray offered little of note. Those WWE guys are straight pussies, I told you all, but he isn’t.

Asked the unusual question of whether pro wrestlers should stay away from the UFC from now on, McGregor seemed to decide that he had given the stars of faux fighting enough air time and changed the subject back to himself. Punk paused to collect himself before relaying Lee’s message that she is proud of him.

He was accustomed to the outside distractions the sport attracts, but despite working with Duke Roufus and other top trainers at the Roufusport Martial Arts Academy in Milwaukee for the past year, he wasn’t ready for Gall. “I beat a fighter, not a great fighter”, Gall said.

Now, he’ll wait to see what the future holds. He said that he felt like he let his coaching staff down. He’s anxious the UFC won’t let him.
