Even more recently, CM Punk did another interview that presents him in a much better light for tonight’s “UFC Fight Night”. It’s a big night for Punk because his first rumored opponent Mickey Gall will be fighting Mike Jackson and if he is victorious, Gall vs. Punk will be announced officially shortly.
UFC has done the following promotion for the fight tonight. You can watch Punk’s interview below and read the highlights of what he said:
What does Punk think about Mickey Gall calling him out?
“Everybody has mentioned my name and said they’d like to fight me, from Michael Bisping to Phil Baroni to Jose Canseco to a few women’s bantamweight fighters that said they’d like to fight me,” Punk said. “What can I say? I’m the prettiest girl at the prom.”
What does Punk think about Gall being his first opponent in UFC?
“To me, Mickey Gall is a means to an end. He’s humble, he’s respectful, and he’s smart. he called me out when he knew he had Dana (White’s) ear. He knew what he had to do, he said my name, so he did the right thing. Honestly, I’m looking forward to meeting him, he seems like a nice kid.”
“I’d say this is the biggest fight of his career, and some people think that’s silly – two people fighting over little old me. It’s unprecedented and a little weird, but those are the cards on the table,” Punk said “If he wins, I’ll be excited, because I’ll have a date and I’ll have an opponent, and it’s on.”
Punk said a lot more about his perspective going into his first fight, his training, and more. You can watch what Punk had to say below:
