“Fair play to him” – Conor McGregor (sort of)

So when Gall wiped the floor with CM Punk, many fighters, both in and out of the UFC, voiced their approval after seeing a perceived outsider who essentially “skipped the link”, succumb to one of their peers.

Dana White is very much a supporter of Punk, not a critic, but the UFC president indicated after the fight that he agreed that the ex-pro wrestler was in over his head. But I know I’m better than that.

“He came in hot so I took him down”, Gall said. “I gave him his shot”.

With his debut match in UFC done and dusted, Punk knows that he lost an opportunity to make an impression. That payout was the third highest of all of the fighters who competed at UFC 203.

So in-between your meme’s of Vince McMahon and Triple H laughing.between your Tweets telling Punk to go back to “that fake shit”.realize one thing.he had the balls to do something that he loved, knowing that he’d take a beating.

CM Punk’s highly-anticipated MMA debut went the way that many were expecting as the 37-year-old Chicago native signed with the UFC in December 2014 with no previous experience. “It doesn’t matter how many time you get knocked down, get back up”, he conveyed. That conversation took place in Quicken Loans Arena, where Punk’s first foray in mixed martial arts will be witnessed by more than 20,000 fans and a pay-per-view audience interested in his unique story.

We posted Satin’s tweet and embedded video below, as well as highlights (err, lowlights) from Punk’s Round 1 loss.

If the Chicago-born wrestler truly wants to continue down this path as a fighter in his late 30s, likely plying his trade in the minor leagues, then there will be no shortage of promoters ringing his phone. I’ve got to get back on the ride. But who’s to say where I go from here? “People are like, ‘Ah, he doesn’t belong here.’ Privilege doesn’t rub people in a good way, but I think he’s kind of earned that privilege by being, obviously, a talented guy in something else”. You know what’s going to happen.

Im going to stay champ for a long time, he said. “I’ve got to get back on to ride”, he stated.

“I’m just really, really hard on myself”. I wanted to win, I wanted to perform.
