CM Punk Comments On His Next MMA Fight

UFC star CM Punk appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour podcast on Monday and commented on his future in mixed martial arts.

Despite losing his UFC debut in what he called “spectacular fashion” back in September, Punk has every intention on fighting again and has a timeframe in mind. Punk says he recently spoke with UFC President Dana White and told him that he understands he might get cut from the company. Punk is confident his next fight will be for UFC, but he is ready to fight for a smaller promotion if that’s what he has to do.

As for when we can expect to see Punk back in the cage, he plans to fight in January or February. He’s already “returned to the drawing board” with his training and has been working on the gaps in his game that led to his first-round defeat to Mickey Gall at UFC 203.

Punk plans to continue fighting at 170 pounds, but is open to fighting at 185 since it was difficult for him to make weight for the first fight.
