Mike Jackson believes Mickey Gall will finish CM Punk in the first round

Mike Jackson's UFC run has been many things, but perhaps the easiest way to describe it is unique.

The journalist and burgeoning prize fighter was selected to face Mickey Gall at UFC Fight Night 82. According to public promises before the fight, Gall would face pro wrestler turned fighter CM Punk if he won. As for Jackson, no such promises were made.

It all doesn't matter in the end as Jackson was submitted just 45 seconds into the first round in their bout. As Jackson told Ariel Helwani on Monday's The MMA Hour, there are probably some things he could've done differently that would've lead to more favorable outcomes, but they didn't happen.
