• WWE Commentator Takes Major Shots At CM Punk’s UFC 225 Loss
As we noted in our CM Punk vs. Mike Jackson UFC 225 fight live coverage, Punk lost his second UFC fight as well via unanimous decision (30-26). The fight went the distance (3 rounds – total of 15 minutes).
WWE commentator Corey Graves went on to take major shots at CM Punk on Twitter. You can check out his tweets after Punk’s fight below:
Maybe abandoning everybody who stood by your side, even when we weren’t supposed to, only to have you turn your back on us wasn’t the right move after all? No anger. Only sadness.

Awww. Seems the “fans” are disappointed. Maybe you guys should know that “That Dude” held my first son before I did because I was on tour and I trusted him.
I had dinner with him the week after he quit.

The first rule of “punk rock” is loyalty, and this guy betrayed it all.
I still love you, “friend” and I’m sorry you got lost.

Don’t worry, hey @VinceMcMahon this has nothing to do with you.
You either @TripleH
This isn’t corporate. This is real life.
Calm down internerds.
