Even if you didn’t see the fight, by now you know CM Punk’s first foray into the mixed martial arts (MMA) world didn’t go as planned for the former WWE superstar, losing to Mickey Gall via first-round submission at UFC 203 in Cleveland, Ohio.
But it wasn’t through a lack of preparation, as Punk had a world-class team behind him courtesy of Duke Roufus and Co., who helped him train for roughly a year and a half before he stepped into the Octagon.
Speaking of which, Duke was mic’d up for his celebrity pupil's debut and courtesy of BJPenn.
