After more than a year-and-a-half of speculation, former WWE champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks finally made his awaited MMA debut when he faced 24-year-old prospect Mickey Gall on the main card of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

After more than a year-and-a-half of speculation, former WWE champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks finally made his awaited MMA debut when he faced 24-year-old prospect Mickey Gall on the main card of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The odds were skewed in Gall’s favor, and the actual result didn’t fail to live up to that billing in any way. Gall immediately shot for a takedown and completed it, opening up the floodgates for a brutal beating that eventually lead to a rear-naked choke submission, forcing Punk to tap in just 2:14.

It was a chilling reality check, and confirmation for those that believed Punk simply didn’t belong to be fighting in the Octagon. Nevertheless, the star pro wrestler said it was the second greatest of his life, and would be back.

Here are the full fight video highlights of his one-sided loss:

In a back-and-forth slobberknocker only witnessed in the UFC heavyweight division, champion Stipe Miocic picked up his first title defense in a rousing bout with Alistair Overeem in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

In a back-and-forth slobberknocker only witnessed in the UFC heavyweight division, champion Stipe Miocic picked up his first title defense in a rousing bout with Alistair Overeem in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The pressure was high in the UFC’s first-ever pay-per-view in his native Cleveland, and Miocic delivered in a big way when he put out Overeem’s lights with a torrent of ground and pound. But it wasn’t without some adversity, as “The Reem” stayed fleet of foot to counter Miocic, actually putting him on the ground with a well-timed shot at one point.

The Dutch striking legend went for a guillotine which he thought made Miocic tap; yet the champion remained stalwart to continue trading shots with the former K-1 Grand Prix champion, each fighter rocking each other at one point. Ultimately, the Croatian-American firefighter picked up his biggest-ever win by knocking out one of the most dangerous fighters in the world.

After almost two years of speculation, hype, and disappointment, former WWE heavyweight champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks will finally make his awaited (?)

After almost two years of speculation, hype, and disappointment, former WWE heavyweight champion Phillip ‘CM Punk’ Brooks will finally make his awaited (?) Octagon debut against green prospect Mickey Gall on the main card of this weekend’s (Sat., September 10, 2016) UFC 203 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Brooks was originally unveiled as the biggest pro wrestling star to cross over and attempt mixed martial arts at December 6, 2014’s UFC 181, but a struggle to find him a suitable opponent coupled with delays in his development and a subsequent injury have pushed the bout off until now.

Few are giving Punk much of a chance against Gall, even though the 24-year-old only has two professional fights and two amateur bouts on his resume. To his credit, Gall, who was originally found on Dana White’s ‘Looking For A Fight,’ has finished three of those four total bouts, including his quick win over Mike Jackson in his UFC debut at February’s UFC Fight Night 82.

Regardless of if Punk can actually put up a fight (or even win), the fight is finally approaching, and the MMA world will be tuning in no matter what their feelings are about Brooks’ controversial debut. However, let’s hope that the fight isn’t put into any kind of jeopardy, as Gall showed up sporting a decent amount of stitches over his right eye in today’s (Sun., September 4, 2016) CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall Joe Rogan Preview from the UFC.
