The MMA World Reacts to News That CM Punk Needs Surgery
– Check out the reaction from the MMA world to the news that CM Punk needs back surgery and that his MMA debut is in doubt once again…
Punk looked 24-year-old Mickey Gall in the eye, squared off, shook his hand, asked for UFC 200, knowing he needed surgery. Crazy coincidence

Interesting CM Punk’s back is so sore yet he was able to grab and lift Ariel off the ground during the interview. That would hurt back no?

If you're keeping score, this 38-year-old former pro wrestler has had knee surgery (2012), a shoulder injury (2015), & back surgery (2016).

CM Punk's biggest mistake was signing w/UFC instead of pursuing a deal w/Bellator. Bellator has room to get more creative w/matching

Punk should have saw what Scott Coker did with/for Herschel Walker and gotten onboard that train.

Not everyone is ment to be a professional #MMA fighter and that's OK. #UFC

Could you even tell the difference between an injured and an uninjured CM Punk once he's in the cage?

@CMPunk Get well soon! Ignore these fools. I know you said it was bothering you bad at training with Devils. All the best!

But the real question: should Mickey Gall take another fight in the meantime or wait for Punk? That's what's really pressing on my mind.

Sorcerers close to the situation tell me that Punk's spirit animal is a dangling carrot.

If CM Punk didn't pull in so much traffic, it might be easier to pretend I don't care about his UFC debut. But he does, so I do.

Guys. It's all good. The fight is still on. Minor surgery. I wish @CMPunk a healthy & speedy recovery. I want you at 100%, check that, #200
