Its been over a year since CM Punk announced that he would be transitioning to MMA<\/a> and entering the Octagon. Now, with Punk’s UFC debut finally set for UFC 203<\/a> in Cleveland on September 10th, the MMA world has been asking many questions in regards to how he will do.<\/p>\n

Gall spoke to Fox Sports<\/a> to discuss the bout, as well as why he won’t underestimate Punk despite his lack of MMA experience:<\/p>\n

“I’m going to prepare as if they say he’s the best in the world. I’m going to prepare like he’s the baddest dude around,” Gall said. “I don’t really think I need to see tape. I’m going to force my game. I’m taking him very seriously.<\/p>\n

“A lot of people are treating him like a joke but I’m going to look like a real (expletive) if I go out there thinking he’s a joke and get myself beat. I won’t let that happen.”<\/p>\n

“I think I’ll finish him in one round, but I’ll be prepared to go three hard rounds. I think I’ll be able to get him in one. That’s what I do, I get people in one. I plan to do some violence, some terrible things in the fight. I’m going to make it real ugly for him.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is important to mention that Punk has been training at Roufusport in Milwaukee alongside the Pettis brothers, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
