UFC 203 animated video: CM Punk details his 'Call of Doodie' moment while training with Duke Roufus

Considering former WWE superstar CM Punk had zero mixed martial arts (MMA) training under his belt before walking through Duke Roufus' door, the 37-year-old had to play a lot of catch-up leading into his debut bout with Mickey Gall at UFC 203 later today (Sat., Sept. 10, 2016) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. As a result, Punk was thrust into the most grueling few months he'll ever experience.

Prior to stepping inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon for the very first time, Punk reflected on one of the more memorable moments of training camp with Roufus.
