On the latest edition of the new “UFC Unfiltered” podcast, CM Punk announced his official UFC debut.
As noted earlier, it had been rumored that the long-talked-about Punk vs. Mickey Gall bout would be taking place at the UFC 203 pay-per-view in September.
Punk was originally rumored to fight Gall at the UFC 202 pay-per-view in August, however for whatever reason, the fight was pushed back again.
Gall earned the shot at Punk by calling him out on Dana White’s “Lookin’ For A Fight” reality show and then winning a preliminary fight in the UFC to officially secure the fight.
Punk-Gall joins Stipe Miocic vs. Alistair Overeem for the UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 203 on September 10, 2016.
