24-year-old Mickey Gall picked up the third victory of his professional mixed martial arts career at last weekend’s (September 10, 2016) UFC 203 by destroying former professional wrestler CM Punk in the very first round of their main card bout. During his post-fight interview with color commentator Joe Rogan, Gall said that he was interested in fighting ‘killers’ from now on, specifically calling out fellow young gun “Super” Sage Northcutt for a clash at November 12’s UFC 205 from Madison Square Garden in New York.

UFC President Dana White was quick to comment on the idea, saying that Northcutt’s team was also interested in the fight and that the UFC would make it happen, although that doesn’t seem to be the case as of now.

According to Jonathan Shrager, who recently spoke with Northcutt’s father, Mark, “Super Sage” was never approached regarding the potential scrap and he’s also currently dealing with a staph infection and will be unable to compete at UFC 205:

Northcutt is coming off of a decision victory over Enrique Martin at July 9’s UFC 200, a win that extended his UFC record to 3-1. Prior to that, he had suffered a disappointing loss to Bryan Barberena last January. “Super Sage” has competed both at lightweight and welterweight, but as his father said, he’d be willing to meet Gall at 170-pounds when the time is right.

The bout certainly makes sense given the stage each fighter is at, but obviously Northcutt will need to return to full health before the two could sign on the dotted line.

Mickey Gall vs. CM Punk Full Fight Video Highlights

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:

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.
