Transcription: How Duke Roufus coached CM Punk at UFC 203

At last month’s UFC 203 in Cleveland, Ohio, CM Punk’s MMA debut ended in a swift defeat to Mickey Gall. The former WWE star lasted just 2 minutes and 14 seconds before tapping to Gall’s rear-naked choke. It’s not definitively known whether or not Punk will get a 2nd crack in the UFC, so only time will tell us if that comes to fruition.

CM Punk trained for his MMA debut at Roufusport, so as expected, he was cornered by Duke Roufus, one of the longtime familiar coaches in MMA, who’s most notably the coach for former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis.
