UFC President Dana White: CM Punk’s Next Fight Probably Shouldn’t Be In The UFC

CM Punk

CM Punk vowed to fight again after his loss to Mickey Gall at UFC 203, but it doesn’t look like it will be in the UFC if he does.

According to John Pollock of Live Audio Wrestling, Dana White told him that Punk’s next fight probably shouldn’t be in the UFC if he chooses to continue to pursue his mixed martial arts dreams.

Punk tapped out to a rear naked choke just minutes into his fight against Mickey Gall at UFC 203. Gall immediately took Punk down, and Punk never once looked competitive in the fight. He was able to avoid being finished for a bit, but eventually was forced to submit.

In a post-fight interview, Punk called it the second best night of his life (only behind his wedding night) even in defeat. He talked about following his dreams and said that you go big or go home in life.
