Last Saturday on the main card of UFC 225, Phil “CM Punk” Brooks’ second MMA fight did not go terribly well. He had been booked against another winless MMA fighter in Mike “The Truth” Jackson, but the bout quickly showed the difference between the two. Jackson has fought in kickboxing and boxing, and Brooks hasn’t. Jackson showed that he could punch and Brooks showed that he couldn’t. Nor could he really hit a takedown, or throw a kick. The whole awkward spectacle made you think that perhaps Brooks was not merely an injury-riddled 39-year-old who got into the sport late, but perhaps someone who was just not cut out for this.
Stuff I learned: UFC 225 - MMA’s got talent!
