It looks like CM Punk’s “one-and-one” appearance inside the Octagon was a pretty big event with the casual MMA fans.

According to Dave Meltzer at MMAFighting.com, CM Punk’s Octagon debut against Mickey Gall helped drive a lot of casual buys to the UFC 203 pay-per-view event earlier this month.

Early estimates have the UFC 203 PPV, which featured Stipe Miocic vs. Alistair Overeem for the UFC Heavyweight Championship as the actual main event, drawing between 425,000-475,000 buys.

While not an enormous success, the show was ordered more than average UFC pay-per-view events. Meltzer noted in his report that Punk’s fight was likely responsible for an additional 125,000-225,000 buys.

To put the 425,000-475,000 buys figure into perspective, the UFC 198 event in Brazil, which was an incredibly stacked show for die-hard MMA fans, and also featured a UFC Heavyweight Title fight as the main event (Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic), reportedly drew less than 300,000 buys on pay-per-view.

Headlined by Stipe Miocic vs. Alistair Overeem and featuring Fabricio Werdum vs. Travis “Hapa” Browne 2 and CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall, UFC 203 took place on Saturday, September 10, 2016 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

During the UFC Fight Night 94: Poirier vs. Johnson weigh-in show on FOX Sports 1, UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley made a big announcement.

“The Chosen One” told his FS1 co-hosts Karyn Bryant and former UFC title contender Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy that despite what many may think, he hasn’t been avoiding a fight against dangerous knockout artist Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.

Not only is he not dodging the rising contender, he will be defending his newly won UFC 170-pound title against him in his very first defense, which is exactly what most fans thought he was not going to do.

Woodley announced that it will be himself against Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson inside the Octagon when it graces the center of the legendary Madison Square Garden arena on Saturday, November 12th in the first-ever UFC event to be held in the state of New York.

Dan Hardy brought up some of the beef that has developed since “Wonderboy” Thompson defeated Rory MacDonald and Johny Hendricks in his last two fights. “The Chosen One,” never one shy with his words, immediately fired back with the first shot now that the match is official.

“I wanted to call him ‘Wonder Woman,'” said Woodley. “But the inside of me kept it to myself.”

Check out the video of Tyron Woodley’s big announcement from the UFN 94 Weigh-In Show on FS1 on Friday evening below.
