Cool that Punk actually fought but if he's serious about another fight, maybe should consider getting a different team of trainers if that was the best he could do after 2 years. Then again probably didn't help he was injured for a while during that time.
UFC pretty much showed a spoiler of what was going to happen with their live pre-fight segment for Punk. He rushed in for a hold during the segment and did the exact same thing only to get countered right away. |

An actor is not constantly training/partaking in physical activity anywhere near as often or as demanding as a pro wrestler of similar magnitude.
Acting on a set a few months out of the year and training to become, becoming, and continually performing and training as a wrestler are two vastly different things. The wrestler is, to a point, a personal athlete. That's a leg up over an a professional actor. |

As evident by what? Just because he was not bursting through his clothing with rippling muscle does not mean he didn't exercise or workout. For all we know he worked out but like most Americans sucked at dieting cleanly and consistently.

Think it's more trying to figure out why people are taking joy in the man losing.

If you want to have that opinion, that's fine, but making fun of him just seems in bad taste.

Guys, just a reminder that CM Punk once blocked me on Twitter for insinuating that AJ Lee looked like Gilbert Gottfried.

Do you know why Punk was smiling when he walked down the aisle? Because the check cleared. A bunch of people are laughing that he lost, but they paid money to see him fight. And for that, I'm sure the only thing he loses sleep over is how messed up his ear got.

But really though, I commend Punk for going into MMA and doing it on such a big stage like the UFC. It's been said before, but he doesn't really need to do this, but he is doing it because he wants to. Because of that, I don't know how people can still hate/ridicule him.
He could easily just stay at home and make money through appearances and merchandise, but he's not. He's putting himself through intense training and (from what was seen last night) getting his ass handed to him. If I had to make one of those choices, I'd stay at home. Anyway, even though he's only had one fight, I really don't think MMA is for him, mostly due to his age. He's left it pretty late. He's pushing 40 and is a newbie and he's going to be fighting guys either half his age who have a few fights under their belts or guys his own age who have a lot of fights under their belts. I'm no MMA guy, but to me it looks like he doesn't stand a chance in getting anywhere in MMA, but hopefully I'm wrong. |

I dunno, it seems pretty straight forward why people are mocking him for the whole thing.
He's always been a bit of a dickhead. People like to see dickheads get beat up. Not too much science to it really. |

Stop. Rufusport is an elite camp with multiple champions at the highest level. Anthony Pettis, Ben Askin, and even the current UFC Welterweight (Punks division) champ Tyron Woodley, to name a few. Punk is 38, just started training full time, and is a white belt in BJJ. This just shows why there are levels to experience and why there is a belt system in place to begin with. If it was a BJJ match, he never would have faced Gall, who is a legit brown belt.

I could play soccer every day of my life and it still wouldn't prepare me to play at the World Cup. This isn't even this though. Pro wrestling has absolutely zero to do with MMA. He had ZERO experience of anything it contains before he started his training two years ago. ZERO. There is no correlation. It was an actor who does his own stunts having a professional fight against a highly trained MMA fighter. The fact that there were people on the card last night that have belts in 3-4 different disciplines and have been world champions in MMA and kick boxing before just makes it more ridiculous. He shouldn't be in the UFC. I am not a hater, I don't hate him and admire him for training so hard, but pro wrestling has prepared him for this moment about as well as ordering a pizza has prepared me for masterchef. |

Pretty much had to be after getting his ass kicked. Not surprised and I don't think he should fight again after losing to a nobody. Who else is there for him to fight that he would have a chance? Would be better off in Bellator fighting old men.

Never really liked Punk. His long WWE title reign was the last time I stopped watching WWE for a long period of time. Just didnt seem like a legitimate champion to me so I didnt watch any of his reign and it lasted forever. Im glad he lost and hope he stays away from pro wrestling as well.

Idk I think Gall looks like a future legit title contender. Not at this point obviously but I think he'll climb up the ranks and in 3 years or so he might be fighting for a top contender spot.
Pretty much what I expected in this fight , Punk losing in the first round. He didn't look too bad defending on the ground, his big mistake was rushing in like that. With that said it's tricky on what to do with him next. If he wants to keep going maybe you put it on fight pass ? You can't let Bellator sign him I don't think, he signed a multi fight contract anyway. I think if Punk wants to keep at it just put him on prelims or fight pass and if he gets canned again just call it a day. |

That was a one off freak show fight. And even then, I would put money on Shamrock or Royce, if they were to fight Punk.

I've watched a few Belkator fights and if there was any chance of MMA being rigged it's happening in Bellator I believe.

Think there's a lot of "butt hurt" WWE fans pissed off that he walked away from "us", and tried to do something else. People were the same when Brock walked away, loved it when he failed at football, and wanted him to get his ass beat in UFC.

Good move by Punk with the babyface promo at the end. Roy Nelson and a few other MMA fighters have come up and given Punk "attaboys" after the bout too. It doesn't make sense to push him as a cocky heel after the loss, but they can milk a babyface comeback out of him now. I imagine his second fight is marketed on his second attempt, he'll probably lose that, and then he can face the guy that beat Gall for the Punk fight. Dana White can probably squeeze three juicy supporting PPV draws from the guy.

White was quoted as saying he shouldn't fight in UFC should he fight again. If Punk is serious about continuing, he should go back to training and start from the bottom.
He's likely to get killed even against young guys with minimal fights under their belt. |

Oh, I didn't know that. Well, I doubt Punk wants to fight second-rate. I could see Punk just moving on to other things now. Good for him.
