Dana White Open To Having CM Punk Fight Again In The UFC

Former WWE star CM Punk was completely dismantled in his UFC debut against the now 3-0 Mickey Gall. After the fight, UFC president Dana White said that if Punk plans to fight again, which he does, he should probably fight elsewhere. After his lackluster performance at UFC 203, Punk said that he’s very aware that

After his lackluster performance at UFC 203, Punk said that he’s very aware that he may be cut, and that if he does get cut, he’ll probably end up fighting somewhere else. As of this writing, the UFC hasn’t decided to cut the ex-WWE champ, and on a recent episode of the UFC Unfiltered podcast, Dana White said that the organization won’t be cutting Punk any time soon.

On the podcast, White said that he told Punk to go home and be normal for a while following his loss to Mickey Gall. He also told Punk that, when the time is right, they’ll get on the phone with each other to discuss what’s next.

“So what I told him to do is go home, spend some time with your wife, be normal for a little while, and we’ll get on the phone and talk. Obviously we haven’t talked yet, but we will, we’ll see what’s next.”

So, what could be next for CM Punk? Well, if he stays in the UFC, there’s only one guy out there that he could face, and have a shot at beating, and that’s Mike Jackson.

Like Punk, Jackson was also defeated by Mickey Gall via submission in the very first round. That’s not the only thing they have in common though, as both of them have a professional MMA record of 0-1.

If you watched UFC 203, then you know that it’s quite clear that Punk was in over his head when he stepped inside the Octagon with Mickey Gall, but he probably wouldn’t be in over his head if he fought Mike Jackson, because the two men are at the same level in terms of skill.

Mike Jackson is obviously a savvy guy, because he called out CM Punk on a recent edition of MMA Junkie Radio, saying that it would make sense for him to be Punk’s next UFC opponent. Will he get the fight? Well, if Punk stays in the UFC, the answer to that question is yes. But, if Punk is cut from the organization, he may end up going to Bellator, where they may put him in the cage with someone else.

Whoever ends up getting Punk will get a proven pay-per-view draw, as the former WWE star helped add an additional 150,000 buys to UFC 203.

Even though Punk is now a proven pay-per-view draw, some have speculated that the UFC, if they allow him to fight again in their organization, will put his next fight, presumably against Mike Jackson, on one of their big Fox shows.

Mike Jackson Thrown His Name In The Hat To Face CM Punk Next

Despite taking a beating from Mickey Gall at UFC 203 earlier this month, former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star CM Punk still wants to compete inside of the UFC’s Octagon.

Despite taking a beating from Mickey Gall at UFC 203 earlier this month, former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star CM Punk still wants to compete inside of the UFC’s Octagon.

Gall earned the opportunity to welcome Punk into the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) by defeating Mike ‘The Truth’ Jackson at UFC Fight Night 83 in February.

Punk and Gall met on the main card of UFC 203 earlier this month, and as many expected, Gall took the former professional wrestling star down with ease and subsequently choked him out to earn a first round submission victory.

Despite many calling for Punk to walk away after having his fun in the Octagon, ‘The Cult of Personality’ remained adamant that he isn’t done competing in the cage and wants to get back in there as soon as possible.

ct-cm-punk-pounded-ufc-debut-20160910-001-1473658444-8001 One man who is willing to fight Punk in his second MMA bout, is the man who had the opportunity to fight him earlier this year, Mike Jackson.

Jackson recently spoke to MMA Junkie to express his interest in being the one to step into the Octagon with Punk next:

“I’ve gotten wind that Punk wants to get another fight, and it only makes sense,” Jackson said.

“It’s about making money,” said Jackson. “I’m a businessman, so I understand the logistics of all of this. As a fight fan, I remember when I heard about (Punk fighting in MMA). I was like, ‘No, no one wants to see that.’ But people are going to tune in for the spectacle of it.”

Jackson noted that it only makes sense to matchup himself and Punk as they share similar Octagon experience, and both have a loss to Gall on their records:

“The experience is the same,” Jackson said. “We both have a loss to Mickey Gall. He can’t go in there and fight dudes with a lot of experience, as opposed to bringing in someone else with very limited MMA experience. It only makes sense to put us both in there.

“This is a fight fans wanted to see even prior to me fighting Mickey Gall because neither one of us had any fights.”

“So whatever way makes the most money for everyone involved – whether it’s the UFC, or Punk, or myself,” he said.

Jackson feels that he has accumulated a plethora of striking skills throughout his experience in boxing and kickboxing, and predicts that if he were to step into the Octagon with Punk, he’d put him away with a knockout in the second round:

“I like predicting my knockouts,” he said. “I predicted each (boxing and kickboxing) fight in each round. If I fight CM Punk, I’m knocking him out in the second round.

“I want him to understand that this is a real thing. This isn’t scripted, and your life is on the line. I want him to understand that by me punching him in the face and kicking him and elbowing him repeatedly that, you need to stop.”

How do you feel about a potential bout between Punk and Jackson?

Mickey Gall Gives His Take On CM Punk’s Pay, Says UFC Should Let Punk Fight Again

https://youtu.be/vENsfXkz7z4

While many fighters and fans felt CM Punk’s $500,000 reported fight purse, believed to only be a percentage of his overall earnings for his fight at UFC 203 this month was a ridiculous amount to pay for a fighter making his professional MMA debut, his opponent, Mickey Gall was not one of them.

Gall, who only earned $15,000 to show and $15,000 to win for his purse at UFC 203, claims that Punk was worth every penny of his reported fight purse — and then some. The rising UFC prospect explained this line of thinking during his recent discussion with Ariel Helwani on the most recent episode of “The MMA Hour” at MMAFighting.com.

“It’s cool,” Gall said. “He’s a superstar. There’s a reason why he’s there. Without him, I’m not in that spot, either. It’s cool. It’s all good. I’m not mad at that, no way.”

Although Gall will now move on from the CM Punk situation, as he did his part by soundly defeating him in a one-sided fight that didn’t make it out of the first round, he was also one of few to defend Punk’s statements about not being done with the fight game. Gall explained to Helwani why Punk absolutely served a purpose in his one fight, and why he could do it all over again if the “powers that be” were to green light a second Punk fight.

“I think a lot of people were interested,” Gall said. “It brought a lot of WWE fans to watch, a lot of guys who wouldn’t have been watching who like the violent stuff, who like this type of action, it brought them over. I had a lot of people contact me to say, ‘I watched this fight for Punk and I’m an MMA fan now.’ I think it worked. I think it was a smart move and I think it worked.”

Gall was right on the money with that statement, as early pay-per-view estimates have UFC 203 between 425,000-475,000 buys, with industry insiders crediting Punk for 125,000-225,000 of those orders.

As far as Punk wanting another fight, his Roufusport head coach out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Duke Roufus recently spoke out about that subject, and indeed claimed that he expects Punk to enter some Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments and possibly a compete second pro MMA fight.

Gall Didn’t Find Out About “Mickey” Entrance Music Until It Began Playing At UFC 203

https://youtu.be/97-pbqSPT8M

Apparently Mickey Gall found out about Dana White’s decision to green light the use Toni Basil’s “Mickey” for his UFC 203 entrance music the second the first chord hit the speakers in the Quicken Loans Arena last Saturday night.

Gall, who spoiled the party of CM Punk, beating the former WWE Superstar in his first Octagon appearance at the event in Cleveland Ohio last weekend, spoke with Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of “The MMA Hour” at MMAFighting.com about the fun surrounding his choice of music for his walk to the cage.

“Then I started hearing the beginning of that song,” Gall said of the moment he realized they did, in fact, use his choice of music after initially telling him they wouldn’t be. “I looked at them like, ‘Did they switch it? Is this me? Am I going now?’ And then they’re like, ‘Yep, we’re rolling, let’s go.’ So I found out right there when everyone else did.”

Prior to finding out that they went with the music, Gall was under the impression, per orders of White, that he must choose something “harder” to come out to.

And then the fans got involved.

White admitted to Gall leading up to the event that the fans had been all over his case about allowing him to use the “Mickey” song after all.

“Dana told me, ‘Hey dude, I’m getting f*cking abused online for this ‘Hey Mickey’ stuff,'” Gall said “I think the people online, it shows you guys are heard. We’ve got a voice out there.”
