For someone who has never stepped foot inside of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon, CM Punk sure is carrying a lot of momentum with him entering his debut bout against Mickey Gall later tonight (Sat., Sept. 10, 2016) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. I guess that's what happens when you have millions of fans following your every move years before you even decided to make a run at cage fighting.
Still, despite Punk's ongoing maturation under head coach Duke Roufus, the entire ordeal seems like some sort of combat pageantry.
