5 Things We Can Expect From CM Punk's UFC Debut

#4 Punk needs to win

CM Punk will be facing Mickey Gall, a younger, faster and more experienced fighter with several years of martial arts training. If Punk fails to win the clash, then fans will lose interest in him. And Punk has signed an eight fight contract with UFC.

Most low-level fighters get cut after two straight losses in the UFC.

However, the trump card for Punk is that he has been training in a world-class gym under Duke Roufus, and that gives him a slight edge. But the question remains whether Punk will be able to adapt to UFC level competition in such a short time.
