Joe Rogan Has Some Advice For CM Punk After UFC 203
Shortly after the conclusion of the UFC 203 pay-per-view (PPV) main event between Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem, UFC commentator Joe Rogan offered some words of advice to CM Punk who had been thrashed at the hands of Mickey Gall in their contest earlier that night.
Rogan had this to say to Punk (courtesy of Wrestling Inc.):
“I admire CM Punk for taking the chance, I really do,” Rogan said. “But, it was delusional. That’s my feeling, it was my feeling watching him hit the bag, when I was watching him punch things. It’s not like he can’t ever learn, Visit Wrestling Inc.but there’s a journey as a martial artist.
“There’s a path that each martial artist is on and different people are on different paths. There’s a reason why brown belts don’t compete with white belts in jiu-jitsu tournaments. It’s not fair, and what we saw tonight was not fair. Mickey Gall’s way better, he’s really good.
“This is what happens when you take a guy who’s an elite young kid [Gall] and you have him fight a celebrity who wants to challenge himself, it’s not the way to do it… If I had to give CM Punk advice, I’d say, fight as an amateur, fight people at your level. I mean, he wants to do this, he wants to continue, God bless him, he’s a fun guy, I like him. But this is not the way to do it.”
Punk stated after the bout that he will be back again, but admitted he most likely would have to take some time off due to his injuries.
Gall on the other hand has called out ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt to a meeting at the UFC’s upcoming card at Madison Square Garden for UFC 205. What are your thoughts on the WWE veteran’s terrible MMA debut?
