6. CM Punk’s Teammate Says Punk Might Surprise People At UFC 203
During a recent appearance on The Roman Show, UFC fighter Anthony Pettis (CM Punk’s teammate) was asked about CM Punk’s progress and what will happen when Punk finally makes his debut at UFC 203 against Mickey Gall. Below are the highlights:
“I think people think he is horrible but that’s not the case. He came a long way. Punk is looking good he can surprise people. He put the work in.”
Speaking of Punk, his UFC 203 opponent Mickey Gall had the following to say about their upcoming fight:
“It’s a big jump. We’re probably not deserving of being on the Pay-Per-View. It’s hard to say because he’s a superstar, made himself a superstar in his sport. Between us, he has no fights, I have two professional fights and three amateur fights. There’s not going to be anyone else on any Pay-Per-View probably this year with 5 fights or less combined. So it’s a little funky but I’m grateful for the opportunity and I’m very excited to fight in front of the big crowd under the lights. I can’t wait man. That’s why I got into this sport.
Right now I’m that CM Punk guy and that’s cool. That’s helping me get to where I want to be but I guarantee in my next fights after this, I won’t be known as that anymore. That’ll just be just like a footnote. I have big plans in fighting so it’s just a launching pad.”
