If you don't appreciate someone who has strong beliefs and guts to take risks when he has millions left in his bank account and followed his dream and stepped in the octagon, then you're full of shit.

[@sinithluk5712]

he does have business in the UFC lol pretty sure he got a fat cheque for that beat down he received. i dont see what the big deal is though, if he loses again he'll either quit or be cut. No point in going out of our way to hate on the dude. Hes actually good for the sport, cause of him Mickey Gall got to shine which was well deserved and it also dragged in a lot of new audience to the sport aswell. People are too caught up in whether he belongs in there or not and i understand a fighter complaining but never made sense why people sitting behind a keyboard who never had a single pro fight in their life are complaining lol like Punk took their one shot to get into UFC lol

[@christopherwalker6056]

Hurricane Polk why call him a 'cock sucker'?? He trained with the Gracies and had the balls to do this. He does have business in there. He made a lot of money too. Most 'armchair quarterbacks' wouldn't have the balls to get in there.

[@jspres86]

Dude you can see in his eyes that he meant everything he said. Hope he has great success in his life.

[@jspres86]

So many unknown fighters will now be forgotten because of one match? I highly doubt that. I'm happy for him.

[@FoxifiedNutjob]

Phil Buckhouse I guess you don't understand how it works. Its kinda like musical chairs, there are not enough seats to go around. For every fighter in the UFC there are literally hundreds of people fighting to get there. 500k winnings can feed many fighters not just ONE celebrity poser...

[@leerobbo92]

One celebrity poser who brought in a lot of PPV buys. He was the main attraction, he got paid accordingly, and he raised the profile of a young up and comer in Gall. Apparently it's you who doesn't understand how the business works. You could put 500 completely unknown fighters on the same bill over the course of a week long card (if that were humanly possible) and pay them 1k each, and they wouldn't sell a 10th of the tickets or PPVs Punk would've brought in. Simple. It's not like he walked in having done no work to make this a reality either.

[@mmadan1611]

Exactly! I'd be ok with seeing him take a 2nd fight. UFC wanted him as a PPV draw but the fight was viewed as a complete mismatch...before the fight ever took place. UFC should have looked harder for a better match up in my opinion.

Michael Muirhead I hear what you're saying. Finding a better opponent would've been difficult. Ideally, his opponent should have been closer in age and had no pro fights. In the end though, I have no idea what the UFC's "agenda" was for CM Punk's signing. Maybe this was exactly the outcome they wanted.

[@SlatRock]

Even Brock lost his first fight..... Would love to see him come back and win !!!!!!

He won his first. The loss to Mir was a match he was dominating until he got caught. Punk shouldn't have been in there.

[@NikGibbs]

He trained full-time for two years before being beaten senseless in a cage fight. I think we have very different ideas of what 'skating by' means.

[@5IvanDrago5]

No he doesnt deserve your respect, he fought at a UFC PPV. That is fucking Broadway of Combat Sports, he never threw one punch and tapped in two minutes. It would have taken balls and courage to fight some amateur fights. This guy had zero fucking business being in there. This was fantasy camp for Punk, UFC is now Make a Wish for celebrities.

[@jordanzips2016]

+Ivan Drago shut the fuck up ivan what would you know like why don't you get in there

[@Flukex-ew7yo]

Much respect to you Punk, all these haters in the comments would never step into the octagon

[@5IvanDrago5]

Fuck yaeh they would. most people would gladly step foot in the Octagon at a UFC PPV. That doesnt take balls or courage, stepping foot in a cage or octagon at some amateur shows would have taken balls. This was UFC's version of Make a Wish for a multi millionaire celebrity that had zero fucking business being on this card or getting the attention he got.

[@Flukex-ew7yo]

+Ivan Drago so all these "keyboard warriors" would take the next fight if it was offered to them, yeh why not because according to you "fuck yeh they would...it doesnt take balls". Punk also said it himself, he wanted to start at the bottom, he didnt demand to be put on the main card, he didnt demand any media attention, he was very introverted leading up to the fight compared to other established fighters. All the over exposure was entirely up to UFC

[@rhysperegrine5100]

I haven't seen much hate. The consensus seems to be that he's a nice guy but that he sucks at fighting.

[@5IvanDrago5]

Flukex1001 A UFC PPV, yes most people with a athletic background would step up for that opportunity, that is the top of the top. What did Punk do in there that you or I couldnt have done. I'm not one of these fans that sits on my couch and says I'm better then that guy. That said what resume did Punk have to be among the elite of the elite of professional MMA fighters. That is total bullshit about him wanting to do amateur fights. Then why didnt he, why did he not do a local promotion in Chicago then. Did Dana White force him with a gun too sign a UFC contract?

[@Flukex-ew7yo]

+Ivan Drago because like you said (the 2nd time, not the one about the internet smarks) anyone with an athletic background would take that opportunity, those opportunities dont come to everyone, even established fighters, Punk is 37 and perhaps he thought even with some am fights under my belt i might not make it to the main. idk. but i feel if that if Dana had put him on the pre-lims, which in a business sense would have been a bad decision, we wouldn't be having this convo

[@rickyjames5736]

I hate to say it but you are right.Punk is beating nobody.

[@Proverbs3_5]

+Hurricane Polk Be nice. He simply decided too late in life to do this. He should've been competing in some form of combat sport instead of pretending to fight guys. I'd love to see him become good at this, but realistically, he's too old now to ever have the training and experience for that to happen. But at least he tried.

[@Ada_Isabella]

I seriously feel for this guy. He absolutely believed he would win. Someone needs to be honest with him. This is like fast forwarding getting a black belt. You need an incredible amount of time to be at that level. And it's not like riding a bike. It's just not. And although it was fun for you (great), this is about millions of people watching a fight between equal opponents and enjoying the actual art of fighting and MMA. You can't possibly enjoy watching a guy get beat up like this, so for the fans this was really tough to watch. You don't put an experienced young surgeon and 2 year medicine student next to each other and expect them to perform surgery in the same way. You just don't do it. We all knew he was going to lose. CM Punk is so hard on himself and that's unfair. I'm sorry but I want to see a fight between equal opponents. I don't enjoy seeing someone who's just starting against someone who's by comparison quite experienced.

Yea, living a legit hardworking, busting his ass for years mma fighters dream. He's only there because he's famous. No real fighting experience whatsoever. Who gets into ufc or any legit pro fighting with a record of 0-0? Not even an amateur fight at all. Its unbelievable that the athletic committee even allowed this to happen. He could have seriously gotten hurt or killed. In those two minutes he was more at risk and probably hurt more than at wwe where he talked so much shit about putting his health at risk. lol! Waa!

I like CM Punk and I feel so bad for him because he's so likable but I agree with you. I've been saying this for so long now. And the other WWE fans and even WWE wrestlers who write shitty tweets to Connor McGregor need to realize this. This isn't wrestling. This isn't sports entertainment. Just because you can fake punch a guy who gets in position for you or lift up a guy who jumps for you to be able to lift him, it does NOT mean you can last in the octogon. It's two VERY different situations. 98% of WWE wrestlers would get raped and murdered by the average MMA fighter, so imagine them trying to face some of the best that UFC has to offer. Hope this is a wake up call to WWE cunts.

[@robotontoilet]

That's exactly what happened. EVERYONE, including Dana would take any prospect with no fights and send him off to get amateur/low level experience if they wanted him to develop properly....White just threw him in there for cheap money....

I love his attitude. That is the most amazing thing about him, honestly. It's also what I love about Connor McGregor. Accepting every aspect of life, the ups and downs. From the perspective of psychotherapy, these are healthy narratives that arise out of a healthy mind. Life is full of experiences, but it's the narratives that we use to frame them that determine the nature of those experiences.

It's a tough loss but CM Punk wasn't fighting a slouch in the octagon. Mickey Gall was a prospect with two wins, no losses in amateur MMA fights and two wins, no losses in professional MMA fights. Punk did do a good job of defending himself in the opening minutes of the fight.... But evey UFC fighter losses at some point, so who give a fuck.

One of the only fights I've ever watched that I'm 100% sure Gall could have actually ended his life without the ref there.

[@mrdeadsea7779]

ANY fight could result in the losing opponents death if the ref wasn't there.

[@RandalfElVikingo]

[@jimmynorris919]

Did Punk cut weight to make that class? He looks much smaller than his WWE days

[@ab8893_]

he cut like 30 - 40lbs

[@upperechelon6041]

He look unhealthy

[@pat5star]

As much as the outcome was practically inevitable you have to admire Punk and the way he has handled everything. He's an inspiration to me now and I hope he never regrets this experience.

[@asicsjohnson]

I was a big fan of his WWE career, but Punk turned into quite the off-putting douchebag around the start of 2015. And he's stayed that way, pretty much all the way up until Mickey Gall beat him back to reality. I respect his balls, because I certainly wouldn't have walked in off the street and gotten in the cage, and he's been uncharacteristically humble in defeat, which is admirable... but it was still really satisfying to see him get shut up in such an embarrassing manner. In spite of what he may be saying, and whether it's his choice or not, I don't think we'll ever see him in the UFC again. And I'm glad.

[@jonjohnson1978.]

think he'll get one more shot cos of his "name" and how many ppv buys he'll sell

[@TheUltimateWriterNZ]

+MeLikePoopies he was a renowned ass backstage

[@jasonthomas3949]

lmao you obviously don't know how cm punk really is as a character vs as a person. He is probably one of the most humble guys in MMA right now period. He knew he was doing this with no experience and told the coach, just tell me what to do , youre the boss. He respects how many of the elite fighters welcomed him, knowing he was just trying to live a dream. Anything that punk does that makes him come across as an ss, is just him trying to sell the fight. He knows all mma fighters do it.

[@fdseoulsandiego6514]

He may lack skills for the moment but hard to argue about not having any heart.

Like Randy Orton and Kennedy. I'm the guy whose brains got bashed in. The guy raped at the UFC. The guy destroyed by Mickey G. Dana White, Vinny Mac When I need a job will they call me back? You won't see me for a while. I'll be lying in recovery. [solo] I'll block your ass on Twitter. I'm the bloodied face on your T.V. Ohhh.. I'm the guy destroyed by Mickey G. Come follow me to the UFC.

[@lordl8738]

[@lwst1988]

Punk has a background in Judo, so yes, he is a fighter, and if you knew about him beforehand, you would know that he never followed the script when he was in WWE. He was the most difficult and stubborn athlete Vince McMahon ever had to work with.

[@revampedsynnergy7792]

bilbodabbins I see that you had to delete your comment before realizing it wasn't a poem... 😂

[@brocky]

Much respect to CM Punk. I ranted about how terrible he was and how he was going to eat it hard. I'm glad to have heard him speak and to realize that it takes courage to step into a whole different job. He did it and gave it his all. Sure he is less skilled than Gall but to see him try, under the lights, millions watching, to not have it go your way, get beat up and then have your wife come up to you to say, "I'm still proud of you..." that's it man. I give him so much respect.

[@wagucu]

Big ups sir...you are a courageous dude!!! Come back please....

[@1Stunna2323]

Must be nice to get signed by the UFC to just get your ass kicked for a shit ton of money. And the fact that he made more money than Gall (who won by the way) sickens me.

[@2682shark]

Why?.. This guy made all the money for the ppv.. The best thing to happen to Gall career is fighting Punk

[@doubleyouexwhyamzed]

You don't get payed for your ability, you stupid bitch. You get payed for the amount of press and attention you bring to the event and the amount of asses you put in seats. CM Punk had A LOT of controversy and attention surrounding him and this fight, so he deserved the paycheque he got. You can be the best fighter in the world, if no one gives a shit about you, if you cannot sell a PPV, you ain't getting payed like those who can sunshine!

[@GokuBlack-ry3ot]

His pay wasn't really that much so...

[@duwaine96]

cm punk sold alot of pay-per-views, the other guy didn't say one damn thing nobody knows who he is and nobody waste their hard-earned money to watch a nobody. It makes sick and you but it's still a business, and CM Punk made a lot of money for the organization even though he lost

[@sdlittleboss]

How does it sicken you that he was given an opportunity? I can fucking guarantee you that if you had a similar chance you would take it and smile, but I hardly doubt you'd have enough balls to step into the octagon

[@richardsonmarshall6742]

His training partners need to go harder on him. He needs experience big-time

[@sinithluk5712]

he just needs more time to learn and grow as a martial artist. his training partners going hard on him isnt magically going to get him from a white belt to black belt by the time he fights again. maybe even enter a few grappling and jiu jitsu tourny on the side.

[@Infin88]

+Iron Luk it would help him experience aggression clearly you can see that punk didn't at all expect he immediate aggression from Gall the takedown caught him off guard

[@conormcgregor7021]

FUCCCCCCCCK! WE MAKING ALL KINDZ OF GAINZ!!11

[@AlexPerezFC]

The reason I became a CM Punk fan was because he's so real and true to himself. I'm glad he's still keeping it real even after the loss. Respect.

[@GrassValleyGreg]

Punk legitimately went after it, and if anything legitimized how hard it is to be Pro MMA. He also made a decent a payday in the process. God Bless the USA.

[@matrix31003]

i gained a ton of respect for Punk after this. he stepped up and trained hard. made the walk to the octagon, got in there and fought. anyone who knows combat knows how tough it is to get in the cage and compete. the real fighters knew he was going to get smoked but what really matters is that he actually got in there and gave it his best. props

[@johnharrison2960]

cm punk will win the next fight just got to work hard

[@GokuBlack-mk6hc]

sure buddy

[@sinithluk5712]

the only way that happens is if im his next opponent

[@Proverbs3_5]

+Iron Luk Right. And even then, you might land a lucky shot and have your hand raised. I want Punk to become decent at this, but he's got no fighting background.

Who's he gonna fight? Another 0 - 1 guy?

[@Korican189]

He should fight Mike Jackson

I hope he comes back on the indie wrestling scene. I love CM Punk the Wrestler. I am glad he fulfilled his dreams, but he needs to be back in the ring.

[@TheBigOxUchia]

+Cackapillar you do see your own hypocrisy don't you?

[@nanoblulovaolution4856]

Honestly it would be great for him to wrestle again, but he conquered that mountain. Also the WWE would undermine him if he came back and he’s done with indies of wrestling. To many enemies, HHH and Vince.

[@RealSupaHotFireVEVO]

Brock fought Frank Mir, a championship-tier fighter. And was winning that entire fight till Mir caught him in a submission. Punk got humiliated.

[@amr8955]

+RealSupaHotFireVEVO my point is a lot of successful people start their way the hard way and they fail miserably but with hard work and perseverance they can achieve what they want. Also the way punk reacted so positively after the fight tells he is going to make it someday. I can bring you some examples of people who failed initially but ended up being successful and famous but i think you get the point.

[@jimihendrixz6040]

+iPhone Gaming Sorry but unless he trains for at least 5 more years he's not gonna do shit in the octagon. Yeah you need heart and perseverance but it comes down to raw talent and Punk has shown that he has none. Lesnar was a NCAA champ while Punk is well.... nothing.

When you get your ass kicked and admit it while putting out that you just got your ass kicked no excuses, that's a true warrior. Sometimes you someone just hits you in the mouth and it wakes you up sometimes it sends you back to the first day of training, I think Punk will go back to training and come back swinging.

he's an incredible guy. I didn't know him before. but now I know. he's amazing
