Mickey Gall: I’m Going To Make CM Punk Quit MMA
Mickey Gall continues to talk trash towards his second UFC opponent, CM Punk. Gall beat Mike Jackson in a welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night 82 and earned his shot against Punk. Gall, who is now 2-0 in his MMA career, will fight Punk in either June or July.
Gall recently spoke with FOX Sports.com about the upcoming fight and said that he plans on beating CM Punk so that he might be done with MMA and go back into pro wrestling.
“I remember hearing it was like an eight-fight deal or something,” Gall said about Punk’s UFC contract. “I definitely think after he fights me, it’s going to sour him to the experience. I definitely think he’ll probably take more appreciation of (professional) wrestling. Honestly, the truth is I really respect him for coming in there and accepting this against me. I think it’s not going to fare very well for him. He might be done. I’m sure there’s more money to be made off him so I wouldn’t be surprised. It would be his call, and that could be caused by what I’m going to do to him.
Gall expects to ruin the MMA experience for the MMA rookie.
“I have respect for him, but I might ruin MMA for him. I’m going to be violent and do something devastating to him.”
“No matter what he does between now and then, it’s not going to make a difference,” Gall said. “What I’m doing, it’s hard-wired in me. I’ve been doing it since I was 16, that’s how I grew up. There’s nothing he could do between now and then that’s going to change what’s going to happen.”
Punk did an interview at UFC Fight Night 83 and said that he would like to fight at UFC 200 in July. However, CM Punk just underwent surgery, and he’s expected to be out for a few week’s. At this time, there is no date set for the fight.
