At UFC 203, the former WWE Champion CM Punk fell against the prodigy Mickey Gall in a one-way confrontation. Dominated early in the fight, the Chicago Kid was forced to abandon in the first round in less than three minutes after suffering a throat.

And to achieve his ends, the former Best In The World has not used his WWE Superstar reputation to prove that his place could be here. He preferred to highlight its work and determination in the Octagon, as he has done in the past to assert themselves in an equally complex business. For CM Punk, obtain greatness in the facility was never an option.

"I do not feel the need to provide an answer to all the emotions my opponent or my fans. For me, it's just a fight. It's nothing more. "He said during a recent interview.

Finally his fight at UFC 203 has been an achievement rather than a defeat, a defeat but promised anecdotal in the winning course now completed CM Punk.
