Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Superstar CM Punk is all set to make his highly-anticipated Octagon debut, when he takes on UFC President Dana White’s Looking For A Fight standout Mickey Gall on the main card of September 10’s UFC 203 from Cleveland, Ohio.

Much has been made of Punk’s sudden thrust into the big leagues of mixed martial arts (MMA), as the former professional wrestler has had no amateur experience in the sport and has been given an opportunity that most men in the industry have worked their entire lives for, causing upset amongst many of the promotion’s talents.

cm punk One 170-pound division member who is also in uproar at Punk’s sudden UFC debut is promotion veteran Lorenz Larkin. Larkin spoke with TMZ Sports, courtesy of FOX Sports, and expressed his displeasure for the sudden opportunity given to the former WWE star:

“I would hope that he loses,” Larkin said. “I can’t just go and be like, ‘Hey, I want to join the (expletive) Baltimore Ravens. I want to be on the Patriots.’

I can’t just jump on and be like, ‘I’m going to play football, and I’m going to be in the NFL.’ So it’s like the same type of thing. You can’t just jump in.

We’re supposed to be the cream of the crop — we’re supposed to be like the NFL of fighting. So it’s like, no normal guy could jump out and be on an NFL team. So what the hell is the difference?

He’s never fought a day in his life … [The WWE stuff] is cool, but if I go over there, I’m going to suck and vice versa, if he comes over here, he’s going to suck.”

Larkin expects Gall to make quick work of Punk, and in not so pretty fashion, as he claims the UFC doesn’t ‘have enough insurance to cover that fight’:

“I don’t think the UFC has enough insurance to cover that fight.” Larkin said. “It’s like me going heads up with Marshawn Lynch, with pads on. He’s gonna run me over.”

Punk and Gall will throw down on the main card of UFC 203 live on pay-per-view (PPV), from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on September 10, 2016.

Fight Announcement: Urijah Faber vs. Jimmie Rivera Added To UFC 203

After suffering a disappointing loss to reigning bantamweight champion and long-time rival Dominick Cruz at last June’s UFC 199, Urijah Faber’s fighting future was unclear, but it looks as if we haven’t seen the end of “The California Kid” and he is set to return to action at September 10’s UFC 203 against No. 14-ranked

UFC executive Dave Sholler announced the news via his official Twitter account:

Urijah Faber versus Jimmie Rivera at UFC 203 in Cleveland is a done deal. Great fight.

— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) July 12, 2016

Prior to his loss against Cruz, Faber had won three of his last four bouts including victories over the likes of Alex Caceras, Francisco Rivera, and Frankie Saenz. “The California Kid”, who currently sits at No. 2 in the divisional rankings, will look to get back on track come September.

Rivera, on the other hand, has won all three of his Octagon bouts to date and has established himself as a rising prospect in the division. The 27-year-old New Jersey native is coming off of a “Fight of The Night” win over Iuri Alcantara last January, and will undoubtedly be facing his toughest test when he meets Faber.

UFC 203 is set to be headlined by a heavyweight title clash between defending champion and hometown hero Stipe Miocic and legendary kickboxer Alistair “The Reem” Overeem.

Cain Velasquez Wants Title Shot Versus Miocic-Overeem Winner

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has had a career that has seemed to have been plagued by unfortunate injury setbacks. The Mexican-American lost his title in June 2015 and was forced to withdraw from an immediate rematch with then champion Fabricio Werdum last February due to yet another injury. At last night’s (July 9,

At last night’s (July 9, 2016) UFC 200, however, Velasquez returned in vintage form, destroying Travis Browne with a first round TKO victory. Speaking on his performance at the post-fight press conference, Velasquez admitted that he’s changed some things in his training camp that led to healthier outcome:

“I felt like the stuff I’ve done for this training camp as far as keeping my body healthy, I feel like it’s worked for me,” he said after the milestone event. “And to go through a whole training camp without any little tweaks or nothing really bothering me has been awesome. And that’s because of the stuff I’ve done to keep my body healthy.”

Not only heading into the bout healthy, but also seemingly coming out of it unscathed, Velasquez may be ready to fight again in the near future, and it’s pretty clear what he has his eyes set on:

“For me, I just always want to fight the best guys,” Velasquez said. “I want the winner of Stipe and Overeem. That’s what I want.”

Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem will face off in the main event of September 10’s UFC 203 from Cleveland, Ohio with Miocic’s heavyweight title hanging in the balance. Does Velasquez deserve a crack at the winner?

Mickey Gall Will Look Like An ‘A**hole’ If He Loses To CM Punk

Mickey Gall has become somewhat of a well-known name in the mixed martial arts world over the past year.

Mickey Gall has become somewhat of a well-known name in the mixed martial arts world over the past year. After calling out Phil “CM Punk” Brooks on an episode of Dana White’s Looking For A Fight, Gall made his Octagon debut last February, bulldozing through Mike Jackson. He will now get to face off with Punk, a former professional wrestler with no prior fighting experience, at September 10’s UFC 203 from Cleveland, Ohio.

Due to the fact that he’s never competed in a cage before, Punk has received quite a bit of criticism. With that being said, Gall feels as if needs to represent MMA in the upcoming fight, adding in that he’ll look like an ‘a**hole’ if he loses to Punk (Via MMAMania):

“I will look like an asshole if I get beat by CM Punk,” Gall told Sirius XM Fight Club hosts RJ Clifford and Steve Cofield. “People are treating him like a joke. I’m taking it very seriously. I want people to look at like I’m representing real MMA fighters, guys who grinded, guys who had to work shit jobs to be able to make a little money around their training schedule. I hope people look at it as I’m representing MMA. I plan to back that up.”

While Gall isn’t familiar enough with Punk to promise too many mind games, he did guarantee that he will dish out a ‘whooping’ on September 10th:

“A whooping is coming whether he talks shit or not,” Gall replied. “I don’t’ know. I’m really familiar with him as a wrestler. I did hear he was a big personality and a big talker. I don’t know. I’m not sure. I’m not very familiar with him so it’s hard to get inside his head, but you know we are going to fight no matter what. I think … I get why they brought him over. I can see why people are disgruntled about it. There is money to be made with him. There is a lot of money to be made with him. There is a lot of eyes that he’ll bring. He will say pay-per-views. He will make money. I totally understand that. I think it’s a smart business move. And from what I’ve seen this guy is actually trying to be a fighter. Sure, he’s a professional wrestler, but I think he’s trying. I definitely think he is trying.”

Does Punk stand a chance against the 24-year-old Gall?
