CM Punk Gets UFC Debut Opponent
Mickey Gall (1-0) defeated Mike Jackson (0-0) at tonight’s UFC Fight Night 82 event. Gall won via RD1 submission (45 seconds) and took no damage in the victory. During his post fight interview, Gall said he was still just thinking about one man, saying that “I’m hungry…feed me CM Punk!” Punk then got in the cage, shook hands with Gall, and the two briefly spoke. You can see video of that below. Gall was discovered on Dana White’s “Looking For a Fighter” show, which airs on UFC Fight Pass. White previously stated that if Gall won, he would be Punk’s first opponent. There is no official date for the fight at this time, but reports had the bout penciled in for UFC 199.
