Update On UFC Deciding On Their Plans For CM Punk’s Octagon Debut This Year

As noted earlier, UFC President Dana White announced that Mickey Gall, the fighter who asked White, who was in the crowd at the time as the scene was filmed for his new “Dana White: Lookin’ For A Fight” reality show, to let him be CM Punk’s debut oppon…

Gall will be fighting Michael Jackson, another fighter who will be making his debut in the UFC, in a preliminary bout on the UFC Fight Pass portion of the UFC 196 event. UFC 196 takes place on Saturday, February 6th in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Punk scheduled to be cageside to watch in hopes that Gall pulls off the victory, as it would give his highly-anticipated UFC debut has a nice organic build-up.

If Gall manages to get past Jackson on 2/6, the fight would go from step one — Gall calling Punk out on White’s new show — all the way to the final step before they enter their respective fight camps — Punk reacting to Gall winning from the front row, similar to the infamous shot of Conor McGregor reversing the roles in a similar situation and reacting to Jose Aldo being in the crowd after his win over Dennis Siver.

As things stand right now, Punk is scheduled to make his official fighting debut in the UFC at their landmark UFC 200 event on Saturday, July 9th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As if there wasn’t enough controversy surrounding Yoel Romero in recent months, between “stool gate,” his “post-fight Jesus comments” and the fashion in which he won a close decision over top contender Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in his last fight at UFC 194 in December, UFC Middleweight star Yoel Romero is now facing the most serious controversial situation thus far in his UFC career.

It was announced this week that Romero is facing a possible violation of the new, strict Anti-Doping Policy, one that could result in a lengthy suspension, taking Romero from being potentially next in line for a UFC Middleweight title shot to sitting out long enough that he might not even be in the top ten discussion by the time he fights again.

UFC officials issued the following statement regarding Romero’s potential Anti-Doping Policy violation:

The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Yoel Romero of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collection.

USADA, the independent administrator of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, will handle the results management and appropriate adjudication of this case involving Romero. Additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.

Romero’s manager, Malki Kawa, issued the following statement to MMAFighting.com:

“We are gathering information and will have no further comment at this time.”
