CM Punk was completely outclassed in his MMA debut at UFC 203, but the 37-year-old wants to continue fighting. The problem is, UFC president Dana White is not sure if Punk has a future in the promotion.
Punk, real name Phil Brooks, went up against Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt Mickey Gall and was submitted via rear-naked choke just two minutes into the first round. The former WWE champion signed with the UFC in 2014 but a series of injuries delayed his Octagon debut.
White, who scouted Punk’s opponent on ‘Lookin’ For a Fight’, respects Brooks as an athlete but doesn’t think he’s cut out for the UFC.
