CLEVELAND – CM Punk tried his hardest to keep it together after his first-round submission loss at UFC 203 on Saturday night, but the emotions of the moment finally got the best of him.
Punk fell by rear-naked choke to Mickey Gall in his Octagon debut after signing with the UFC in 2014 as he transitioned to mixed martial arts from professional wrestling.
His best effort still came up well short after Gall planted Punk on the mat early in the first round before finishing the fight in under three minutes.
After the mauling he took on Saturday night, Punk admitted that he has a lot to learn but wasn’t sure if his future would be in the UFC or possibly in a lower level organization so he could get some more experience.
In a perfect world, Punk would like to be back at his home gym in Milwaukee training next week, but he does plan on taking some time off after the loss.
Punk was asked about her first words to him after the fight was over and it took him a few moments to answer while fighting back the tears.
