Believe it or not, this is the most fun I’ve ever had in my life.

Punk walked forwards purposefully from the bell and got nailed with a double leg takedown from 24-year-old Mickey Gall who quickly used his superior jiu-jitsu to secure a submission.
Gall took down Punk within the first five seconds, mounting and pummelling him until he managed to stop the fight via a rear naked choke. I know it sounds preachy and kinda weird for a guy that just got beat up, but (expletive) it. “I became friends with him, he’s a nice guy. With that said, this might sound gimmicky, but I’m no gimmick fighter”, Gall said. That caught Dana Whites attention, and he signed him to the UFC and booked the fight with Punk. This is a tough place to learn. CM Punk was once a WWE champion before retiring from wrestling in 2014, then made a decision to sign on to the UFC later that year.
“He probably shouldn’t have his next fight in the UFC”.
In a report posted by MMA Mania, after suffering his first MMA defeat, Punk remained composed and gracious inside the Octagon. I just don’t want to see him in the Octagon again. Well, fight fans will be glad to hear that Punk will not give up on his MMA quest. “I just love challenges”. He had started training with respected MMA coach Duke Roufus in January 2015, but had suffered some injuries that had forced his UFC debut to be pushed back multiple times. Nash then also talked about UFC pushing and billing CM Punk as “CM Punk” as opposed to his real name Phil Brooks, so it was clear that UFC was trying to lure the wrestling fanbase into UFC 203.
“I said I would keep this belt for a long time and I did it”. I think that boy’s corny.
“He hit harder than I thought, he knocked me down but I wasn’t hurt”, Miocic said.
