Kevin Nash On Why CM Punk’s UFC 203 Fight Isn’t Like The Rock at WM 28: “Rock Delivered”

– Kevin Nash spoke with Iain Chambersm of Notts TV News about CM Punk’s loss to Mickey Gall at UFC 203. You can see video and highlights below:

On the fight: “I did not see the fight but I saw the coverage afterwards. It didn’t look like it went very well for him.”

On whether he agrees with Punk’s choice to join the UFC: “That’s his decision. 37 seems late to get in the fight game. I didn’t get a chance to wrestle with him per say, but I got a chance to be out there with him. He seemed very talented, at what we do. It’s different, if you’re a novice fighter, that was his first fight last night. I don’t know how many fights Gall had, like five? Having five fights and zero fights, that’s a huge advantage. So — Oh well. 0-1, I guess he’s not the best in the world anymore.”

On comparisons between Punk’s complaints about The Rock swooping taking the Wrestlemania main event spot and what he is doing now in the UFC: “No. Rock delivered. The fact that he came in as CM Punk tells you what they were pushing. They’re pushing to a fanbase that he had in WWE. I heard he had a four-fight deal so he has three left. I think it’s different what we do because we can put people in places, in WWE and sports entertainment. What he did was basically ask for an ass beating. So it’s different.”
