Punk was not able to mount any form of offense in the fight, and was finished early in the first round. Punk though has not got any indications from the authorities regarding such a move. Whether or not his next bout is inside the eight-walled cage, remains to be seen.

“My initial venture into this was gonna be at the lowest level”. While everyone was fascinated to see how a relative newcomer, who just so happens to be a former WWE superstar, would fare in the real world fighting of the UFC, the public now knows that it tends to result in a very predictable fashion with Punk looking out of his depth and getting mauled from start to finish. What if I get cut? I know two-year guys.
THE DECISION TO give Phil “CM Punk” Brooks a shot in the UFC has garnered substantial criticism from certain quarters since he signed with the mixed martial arts organisation in December 2014. “I knew I’d be better, so I just took him down”. “It didn’t happen”, said Punk.
“There’s probably an alternate reality somewhere where I win and I’m still disappointed in myself”, Punk said, fighting back the tears.
“I think he should take some time”, Gall said.
As far as what’s next for Punk, I don’t really care. I lost and it sucks and it was lopsided and it’s upsetting. I’ve been doing it since I was a teenager, so I knew what to expect. A lot of guys are like, ‘the guy 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. I’m going to hurt you.’ And then he kept staring at me as he walked off. “I was happy I did it”, said Punk.
CM Punk got quite the beating in UFC 203, and Conor McGregor couldn’t help joking about it! I wanted to win, I wanted to perform. I wanted to perform.
