Last night at UFC 225, CM Punk made his return to the Octagon, taking on Mike Jackson in his second-ever professional fight. This was his first match since losing to Mickey Gall by submission at 2:14 of the opening round at UFC 203.

The second verse was the same as the first.

Jackson defeated Punk by unanimous decision at UFC 225, with all three judges scoring it a shutout, 30-26.

ESPN provided the following breakdown of the fight:

Punk, a Chicago native who signed with the UFC in 2014, actually got to show some technique Saturday night. He landed a couple of overhand rights and worked a successful takedown in the first round. In the second round, he very briefly worked a triangle setup off his back.

Jackson, 33, started to really have his way in the second and third rounds. A Houston native, he has only two MMA appearances but has boxed and kickboxed professionally. He had an easy time locating Punk with the jab and racked up offense with ground and pound.

The home crowd urged Punk on from the beginning, but his nose was bloodied in the first, and he looked tired in the later rounds. He continued to come forward, however, even after Jackson landed several solid right hands.
