This past weekend, CM Punk stepped into the Octagon to make his UFC debut nearly two years after he signed with the UFC.<\/a><\/p>\n

Punk stepped into the Octagon to fight Mickey Gall with quite a bit of confidence<\/a> after training for nearly two years under Duke Roufus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Roufusport.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Punk, his debut was a rather disappointing one as Gall landed a takedown just seconds into the fight, and proceeded to dominate the grappling exchange until getting a rear naked choke win<\/a> just minutes into the first round.<\/p>\n

Following the fight, Gall spoke on The MMA Hour<\/a> to explain why he felt the need to make an example out of the former WWE champion:<\/p>\n

“I 100 percent felt a strong obligation to make an example out of him. I felt indebted to my sport, to the veterans of my sport \u2014 everyone in my sport \u2014 to go in there and dominate every second of this fight.”<\/p>\n

“I figured he’d be tough, man,” Gall said. “Those wrestlers, they’re tough guys. They’re slamming themselves around and stuff. It was pretty much what I expected. I knew once he got in there with me, I was gonna be able to just dominate him.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve just been really committed and I’ve been really smart about it. I saw the videos of him and I would have liked to have knocked him out. I wanted a knockout. That was the plan.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following the dominant win, Gall called for a fight with fellow “Lookin’ For A Fight” alum Sage Northcutt at UFC 205. While fight fans were quick to jump on the idea of a fight between the pair, Northcutt is currently recovering from a Staph Infection<\/a>, and is unable to compete at the present time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
