CM Punk spoke with FS1’s Megan Olivi following his devastating loss in his Octagon debut to Mickey Gall at the UFC 203 PPV event on Saturday night in Cleveland, Ohio.
As Punk explains in the video, which you can watch above, he said he “thinks” he will have another fight despite the performance in his first outing last night. He spoke about looking forward to being able to eat and spend time with his wife and dog again, and noted he plans to take a vacation from the gym.
Shortly after the conclusion of the UFC 203 pay-per-view (PPV) main event between Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem, UFC commentator Joe Rogan offered some words of advice to CM Punk who had been thrashed at the hands of Mickey Gall in their contest earlier that night.

Shortly after the conclusion of the UFC 203 pay-per-view (PPV) main event between Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem, UFC commentator Joe Rogan offered some words of advice to CM Punk who had been thrashed at the hands of Mickey Gall in their contest earlier that night.
Rogan had this to say to Punk (courtesy of Wrestling Inc.):
“I admire CM Punk for taking the chance, I really do,” Rogan said. “But, it was delusional. That’s my feeling, it was my feeling watching him hit the bag, when I was watching him punch things. It’s not like he can’t ever learn, Visit Wrestling Inc.but there’s a journey as a martial artist.
“There’s a path that each martial artist is on and different people are on different paths. There’s a reason why brown belts don’t compete with white belts in jiu-jitsu tournaments. It’s not fair, and what we saw tonight was not fair. Mickey Gall’s way better, he’s really good.
“This is what happens when you take a guy who’s an elite young kid [Gall] and you have him fight a celebrity who wants to challenge himself, it’s not the way to do it… If I had to give CM Punk advice, I’d say, fight as an amateur, fight people at your level. I mean, he wants to do this, he wants to continue, God bless him, he’s a fun guy, I like him. But this is not the way to do it.”
Punk stated after the bout that he will be back again, but admitted he most likely would have to take some time off due to his injuries.
Gall on the other hand has called out ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt to a meeting at the UFC’s upcoming card at Madison Square Garden for UFC 205. What are your thoughts on the WWE veteran’s terrible MMA debut?
The kicks didn’t stop flying after the final horn blew for the conclusion of the heavyweight clash between former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne. Shortly before Werdum’s hand was risen up to declare him the winner via unanimous decision, after going 15-minutes in the Octagon with Browne, Werdum and Browne’s coach Edmond Tarverdyan
The kicks didn’t stop flying after the final horn blew for the conclusion of the heavyweight clash between former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne.
Shortly before Werdum’s hand was risen up to declare him the winner via unanimous decision, after going 15-minutes in the Octagon with Browne, Werdum and Browne’s coach Edmond Tarverdyan engaged in a little scrap of their own.
Werdum and Tarverdyan seemed to have exchanged words, angering ‘Vai Cavalo’ enough to throw a front body kick to the Glendale Fighting Club’s head-coach.
When asked on exactly what happened during the altercation during the UFC 202 post-fight press conference, Werdum stated that he was simply trying to keep distance between himself and Tarverdyan:
“This coach coming, I don’t know his name, he said ‘Hey, shut up your mouth son of a bi**h’.’ I say ‘What?’ Ah he said ‘Mutha fu**a’. He said ‘shut up your mouth mutha fu**a’. I said ‘What?’ And then I don’t know.”
“I just keep the distance. I don’t got to kick him, I know he is a boxing coach. I see in his eyes he want to punch my face. And I just keep the distance that’s it. But he come first, he says a lot of things, bad things you know? And my mom say ‘never say bad things for nobody’ and I say ‘okay’ but he start.”

Just moments after spoiling the mixed martial arts debut of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion CM Punk at UFC 203 yesterday (September 10, 2016), Mickey Gall took yet another opportunity with the mic in his hands to call out a fellow fighter to throw down with.

Just moments after spoiling the mixed martial arts debut of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion CM Punk at UFC 203 yesterday (September 10, 2016), Mickey Gall took yet another opportunity with the mic in his hands to call out a fellow fighter to throw down with.
Gall called out fellow Looking For A Fight alumni ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt to a scrap at the UFC’s upcoming mega-show from Madison Square Garden in November for UFC 205.
That fight seemed to spark interest amongst the MMA fan-base, and apparently Sage’s team as well.
UFC President Dana White spoke to Megan Olivi shortly after the pay-per-view (PPV) event and revealed that the 20-year-old’s camp is also interested in throwing down with Gall:
“After he called him out Sage’s team hit me up, and they want the fight so we’ll make it happen. “
Northcutt (8-1) is coming off of a unanimous decision win over Enrique Marin at UFC 200 this past July, and is a young up-and-coming prospect who is competing in both the UFC’s 155 and 170-pound divisions.
The young Katy, Texas Native suffered his first professional MMA career loss under the UFC’s banner when he was submitted by Bryan Barberena in the second round of their contest back in January via arm-triangle choke.
Northcutt has since bounced back with a win over Marin, and a bout with Gall is certainly going to be a crucial test for both young men going forward in their professional combat careers.

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:
In our co-main event of UFC 203 in Cleveland, former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne went to war in a pivotal contest of the UFC’s big boy division.

In our co-main event of UFC 203 in Cleveland, former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne went to war in a pivotal contest of the UFC’s big boy division.
Werdum opened up the first round with a beautiful flying side kick that landed flush on Browne’s chin, then proceeded to pick his opponent apart and finish the round dropping some nasty ground-and pound from the back of ‘Happa’.
The next two rounds did not sit well with the Cleveland crowd, as the two men played the bout very tentatively, however, Werdum certainly was the better of the two men that night.
Werdum would take home a unanimous decision win when it was all said and done, but the strikes didn’t stop flying there, as an all-out war broke loose between the two camps after Edmond Tarverdyan said some things that caused Werdum to hit him with a front body kick.
