We finally know who CM Punk will fight in his UFC debut. Now, that question won’t be asked again, but now fans can speculate on how Punk will do in his UFC debut when he fights the impressive Mickey Gall.
Gall beat Mike Jackson in a welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night 82 and earned his shot against Punk. Gall, who is now 2-0 in his MMA career, will fight Punk in either June or July.
Gall spoke with reporters following his fight and explained that his short chat inside the octagon with Punk was like a soccer-mom small talk.
“It was like small talk – soccer-mom small talk,” Gall said. “It was nothing.”
Gall believes that he’ll beat up a superstar, and he’ll finish Punk in the first round.
“I respect that dude,” Gall said. “He made himself a superstar. But it’s a big fight for me. I get to beat up a superstar. That’s what I’m going to do.
” … I’m going to beat up CM Punk in the first round. It’s the same original prediction. I don’t think I’ll beat him quicker than this one (against Jackson), but it’ll be in the first round.”
Punk did an interview at the event and said that he would like to fight at UFC 200 in July. UFC President Dana White said after the fight that the promotion would announce a date for the fight soon. Either way, the fight will be happening in the new few months.
