CM Punk Suffers Another Embarassing Loss in His Second UFC Match

CM Punk vs. Mike Jackson kicked off the main card on the UFC 225 pay-per-view on Saturday night. Under normal circumstances, the fight would have aired on UFC Fight Pass or during the prelims on FS1. However, Dana White said this week that Punk vs. Jackson was included on the main card because Punk is a pay-per-view draw.

Punk managed to survive all three rounds but was dominated the second and third rounds of the fight, often times getting busted opened. Punk failed to nail several punches and was visibly dizzy in the third round. All three judges scored 30/26, with Jackson getting the victory.

Punk didn't stick around for a post-fight interview.

Long-time fans of Punk will probably speculate on what his future will be going forward. Punk has given conflicting statements on his wrestling future. He told MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani that he never received a real offer to wrestle but a day later he outright said that he was done with pro wrestling. Voice Of Wrestling reported that, according to their source, Punk would likely not appear at All In if he was decimated in his fight at UFC 225.
