CM Punk vs Mike Jackson in talks for UFC 225 in Chicago
​
​
Punk (0-1) made his UFC debut in September 2016 at
UFC 203
. He lost via first-round submission to
Mickey Gall
. Afterwards, UFC president
Dana White
, who has always spoken glowingly of the former World Wrestling Entertainment champion, never closed the door on Punk getting a second shot in the UFC, and neither did Punk.
​
​
And no one has campaigned harder to take on Punk than Jackson. Jackson (0-1) lost to Gall via first-round submission in February 2016 in a fight for the right to welcome Punk to the Octagon. Since then, Jackson has used
social media
to poke at the former professional wrestler in hopes of being his second opponent in the UFC.
​
​
The promotion appears to like the idea, too, but again, a second fight for Punk hasn’t been signed just yet.
​
UFC 225 is set for the United Center in Chicago, where Punk is a huge local draw. No main event has been announced for the card at this time.

They signed CM Punk for PPV buys, so you better believe he's going to be on the PPV.

I thought this was a joke at first and it quickly dawned on me that it could be very real. Meh. I shall watch. I always do.

CM Punk wins and calls out Mickey Gall...who just so happens to be sitting cage side, with his shirt unbuttoned down way too far for comfort.
UFC 332 CM Punk vs Gall 2

His song catalog alone is enough to open this sh1t at a solid -500 for Jacko.

Well, I actually have to give Punk credit for being willing to step back into the octagon. That was a nasty, humiliating beatdown.
This won't make me skip the card, but it sure as hell won't make me buy it.

Jackson is dangerous, Punk is gonna have take a look at himself and make a change or it could be a very bad evening for him.
