WWE-stjärnan Phil ”CM Punk” Brooks gjorde under natten både MMA och UFC-debut, då han tog sig an Mickey Gall under UFC 203 i Cleveland. Brooks förlorade matchen via submission redan i första ronden, men det var inget som fick Phil att vilja sluta med sporten.
Detta hade ”CM Punk” att säga, via ”BloodyElbow”:
I’m just disappointed. I’m beating myself up way more than I got beat up. My initial venture into this was going to be at the lowest level. This opportunity just got presented to myself, and I would’ve been a fool to say no. I don’t know what happens from here on out. What if I get cut? I don’t know. I think that’s a possibility.
Do I want that to happen? No. But who’s to say where I go from here. I definitely want to keep going. I just fell off a bike. I’m not just going to shove it and leave it in the middle of the street. I’ve got to get back to the ride.
UFCs VD Dana White anser dock att Phil i så fall borde fightas i någon annan organisation, och så här skrevs det via twitter:
Dana White tells me that if CM Punk has another fight, it probably shouldn’t be in the UFC
