Before we start getting pumped for a fight that’s not even close to being booked yet, Jones was quick to remind everyone that his future remains in doubt.
Out of pro wrestlings scripted ring, his first visit into the octagon didnt last long.
Punk arguably lost the fight in the first five seconds as he marched across the cage and got taken down nearly immediately.
The UFC debut of Phil Brooks, known in the wrestling community as CM Punk, was one that many had been looking forward to, after multiple setbacks pushed it back to 21 months from the time he had signed with the company. But Punk’s first foray into the sport resulted in defeat, as he was taken down by his opponent, Mickey Gall, in mere seconds and submitted at two minutes, 45 seconds into the fight due to a rear naked choke.
“He let go”, he said. “I’m just disappointed. I’m beating myself up way more than I got beat up. I didn’t get to the summit tonight but it doesn’t mean I’m going to give up, it doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere, it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop”. He put me on my ass, you know.
Since Cain Velasquez is coming off an electrifying, stoppage win over Travis Browne, and was booked for a title shot earlier this year, a lot of people believe the former champ will be next.
Rogan has since spoken out about how uncomfortable he is speaking to fighters who have just suffered brain trauma.
He was accustomed to the outside distractions – media requests, fans and travel – for years. But despite working with Duke Roufus and other top trainers at the Roufusport Martial Arts Academy in Milwaukee for the past year, he wasnt ready for Gall.
Obviously, Mickeys a hell of a fighter.
Following the heated bout, Werdum put his gloved hands to his face and was pretending to wipe away tears when he was confronted by Brownes coach Edmond Tarverdyan.
Werdum tried to kick Tarverdyan and security rushed into the ring as both corners jawed at each other. This was the most fun Ive had in my life, second best night of my life after marrying my wife.

“Listen, I trained for these kind of situations. Doesn’t matter how many time you get knocked down, get back up”.
