In case you didn’t know
In case you have been living under a rock for the last several years, CM Punk has been out of the wrestling business since early 2014, citing numerous injuries and bitterness toward the WWE as the reasoning for him leaving the company. Shortly thereafter, he began his training to enter the world of MMA via UFC. Punk signed a multi-fight deal through the company, allowing for him to keep his “CM Punk” moniker and entrance music from his prior WWE tenure.
Punk would compete in the Welterweight Division. He would have his first fight at UFC 203 in 2016 against Mickey Gail, ending in a submission loss during Round One at 2:14. Ironically, the fight took place at the same arena Punk had walked out of WWE two years prior. After initial criticism and failure, Punk challenged Mike Jackson to a fight at UFC 223 in June 2018. The bout ended in a Unanimous Decision victory for Mike Jackson.
