When asked his thoughts on his fellow fighter’s loss, Conor poked fun at CM Punk for getting his ‘a** whooped.’ Watch the amusing video of Conor right here! “It was a hell of a climb, 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”. “And not a lot of people do”. Got his a** whooped, god bless he got his a** whooped. He’s one of the first indie guys in a long, long time to really shake [up] the main roster in WWE and he paved the way for Daniel Bryan, for myself, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, and those guys. “He got in the fall, so fair play to him, respect”.

However, he was clearly one of the few from the pro wrestling world who didn’t, as guys like Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Ric Flair, and Roman Reigns were all clearly hurt by the UFC megastar’s insults, and Punk clearly picked up on the fact that nearly everybody in his former profession didn’t appreciate McGregor saying that he would “slap the head off” of the entire WWE locker room.
Both Gall and Northcutt are prospects of UFC President Dana White’s reality series, “Dana White: Lookin” For a Fight’. Conor even reportedly had money on the fact that Mickey would win, but that seemingly didn’t keep him from feeling some mad respect for CM!

Punk’s debut didn’t go exactly to plan. If we ever do, though, we’re thinking Conor might not be so nice to his fellow fighter! Currently, Punk is listed as the underdog, and his opponent thinks that he’ll be able to finish the former WWE star in the very first round. Did you think CM Punk would lose that fight?
