Is this a sign that CM Punk is nearing his UFC debut?

After spending almost the whole of 2015 in anticipation, CM Punk fans finally have a glimmer of hope as it seems that his UFC debut is within striking distance. Punk, real name Phil Brooks, posted this on Twitter:

Same. Giving blood at 6am while your dog tries to kill two strangers is the worst alarm clock. https://t.co/JmS7frw258

Punk wasn’t the only one who went through the same ordeal. Women’s Bantamweight contender Miesha Tate, who will face Rousey-slayer Holly Holm at UFC 197 on March 3rd, posted this before Punk:

USADA just came & drug tested me, happy they r testing but Damn let a girl sleep! Rang doorbell at 6am, Took over an hour, goin back 2 sleep

The tests are proof that the UFC’s latest stand on the doping issue is quite stringent. A potential opponent for Punk has been all but determined in Mickey Gall. The twenty-four-year-old fighter recently received a UFC contract following his calling out of Punk after a fight in a smaller promotion, where the company’s President, Dana White.

Gall has just one fight under his belt and will face debutante Mike Jackson at UFC 196 on February 6th. A win will see his wish of welcoming CM Punk into the octagon granted.
