chivalrous Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I heard some rumour that CM Punk will have his first match on August, but no confirmation information was provided.. I hope the match is real and CM Punk can fight in his first match of UFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlow73 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 It's possible, they don't have the cards for August completely full on the website yet. I just read that he's fighting at 202. The only fight UFC has on the card so far is McGregor/Diaz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chivalrous Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks Kenlow... Just curious how CM Punk will really do in a real fight, Brock Lesnar is a beast if he concentrate solely on MMA(UFC).. but CM punk seems to be the enigma here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 ESPN.com news services "Former WWE superstar CM Punk will make his UFC debut in a welterweight bout against Mickey Gall at UFC 203 on Sept. 10, the UFC announced Thursday. UFC 203 will be held in Cleveland, where hometown hero Stipe Miocic defends his UFC heavyweight title for the first time against Alistair Overeem. In the co-main event, Fabricio Werdum will take on Ben Rothwell. Punk, 37, birth name Phil Brooks, signed with the UFC in December 2014 and had his debut postponed because of a shoulder injury. He has been training at Roufusport Academy in Milwaukee, the home to former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and Asia-based ONE welterweight champion Ben Askren, among others. Gall (2-0) is a 24-year-old welterweight prospect fighting out of New Brunswick, New Jersey. He made his UFC debut on Feb. 6 and picked up a first-round submission win." I didn't realize he was already 37. A little late in the game for such a big career shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenlow73 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I added the opponent, location and main events on the card. So no, you didn't. that wasn't the question. The question was is Punk confirmed for debuting in August not who's on the card and where the card is he's on. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chivalrous Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Curious what entrance music CM Punk will use...I hope it's "This fire burns", who knows? maybe CM Punk will get the same reception like when he face Jon Cena in chicago;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlow73 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm surprised he's going by Punk, I figured if it wasn't Wrestling, he'd use his real name but yet again I guess you can't sell tickets if nobody knows who Phil Brooks is.

Cult of Personality? Wow i taught the wwe owns the name/gimmick dont they ?I member a few wrestlers had to change there gimmick name /wrestling name after they left the company because the wwe trademarks there names .If the wwe wanted to they could force the ufc not to call him cm punk.I suppose there on good terms so they wont do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chivalrous Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yes..Kenlow73, CM Punk was his gimmick since he was in independent and the ROH, as for his entrance music, "this fire burns" seems more boasting as his entrance and the lyric suit him well.. Gall seems like an BJJ expert , so punk should concentrate on his fist and knee , else i don't see him winning with submission, he really need one lucky punch to KO Gall for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaled Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 CMpunk doesn't wanna regret, coz if said he wanted to join mma before wwe but at dat tym mma wasn't a popular sport. So he said he wanted to fulfill his dream and it's never too late for him to give it a shot. I wish it goes well for him# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaled Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think not yet coz Dana white is busy with Dos vs Eddie and Diaz vs Connor maybe he Wil get his match and not a pro fighter but a fish(new fighter 1-0 record) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
