CM Punk’s MMA coach, Duke Roufus was on the UFC Unfiltered podcast and said again that CM Punk has been training for his second UFC fight and that he should hear some news with more details soon. MMA Junkie has a transcript of his comments:
“(UFC President Dana White) and the matchmakers had their weekly matchmaking meeting yesterday, and we’ll get some news soon. I just think the first time you step in the octagon, there’s something special you’ve got to deal with getting in there. For Punk, this sounds really weird, but now he knows what a beating feels like – a real beating.”
“I think (a loss like Punk’s at UFC 203) will help a lot of fighters to the point of haunting them, like, ‘No, I don’t want to feel this way ever again.’ It’s not the physical. These guys are tough. It’s the mental anguish. You don’t want to feel that depressing, embarrassing feeling of getting beat up in front of God and everyone. It’s no fun. It’s been great motivation for him.”
CM Punk was destroyed by Mickey Gall in his first fight at UFC 203 on September 10, 2016.
