CM Punk ‘confident’ he’ll fight in the UFC again

The pro-wrestling-star-turned-MMA-fighter told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that he believes it is likely that he'll get another shot in the UFC. Punk lost his debut by first-round submission to Mickey Gall at UFC 203 in September.

Punk said he and UFC president Dana White have been in discussions about a possible next move. The former WWE champion, whose real name is Phil Brooks, said he is hoping to return as early as January or February.

"I don't want to speak for him, but I think if he wants to kill it, he would have killed it right then," Punk said of his second fight being in the UFC.
