What makes this a little more than a foregone conclusion of Punk getting destroyed to me is that Gall is more comfortable in grappling and Punk has more experience there than striking himself. It could be a fairly contested bad kickboxing match until they grapple and maybe also be competitive there as well. I would think it's a guaranteed KO of Punk if he was fighting a guy with lots of striking competition experience newly getting into MMA, but it's likely Gall is a trash tier fighter as well by UFC standards with a big mouth and can't yet smoke a CM Punk as we'd be hyped to think.

There's a little spark of hope that maybe all the times he got lit up in those smokers, he was defeated in a different way each time.

Cm punk should have fought James Tony or something, he's going to get his rear end kicked by a real mma fighter. Probably tap to strikes in the 1st minute

Alternatively, Dan Quinn. Dan would challenge him again after each loss and Punk could easily rack up enough wins for a title shot.

Idk if this is old news but today on reddit Joe Lauzon said that he heard Punk has lost all 12 smokers he's been in. How can he not pull out if that is true?

I like Punk a lot and hope he does well, but this just seems like egomaniacal insanity. The only plausible explanation is that both he and the UFC know he's gonna get murdered but its a good payday

Because he's getting paid. He's a pro wrestler, he's used to getting paid to lose, why should he care if it's for real this time? Money is money is money.

He's fulfilling a dream he's had for a while (he's loved MMA for a long time and especially the UFC and wanted to be a part of it) and being paid decent. As long as he's not actually murdered, it'll be fine, and the last thing he'll want to do is quit even if it wasn't

"...We'll see how smart you are when the K-9 comes"
Thursday January 8th 2004, Baltimore Maryland

Allison Danger picks up the inoccent looking Punk rock wrestling hooligan who hasn't slept on a Wednesday night in the past three months at the Baltimore airport. What follows is their story. Names have been mostly made up due to Punks hatred for officers of "the law"...

So yeah, I let Allison drive my car, and she doesn't crash it, so we celebrate by me getting pulled over for (are you ready for this?).....
:drum roll:
Driving too close to the vehicle in front of me.
At least that's what the very clean cut looking officer who more than likely winds down his hard days "work" by downing a case of beer and beating his wife silly because he's embarassed he can't help his 8 year old with his math homework told me. I was told that I was following one and a half car lengths behind the guy that cut me off, when I was supposed to be following him TWO car lengths.
Officer Douche Mcallister asks me the usual questions, and the entire conversation went exactly like this:

Pig McBlueboy: Do you have anything in the car in the way of drugs or weapons?
Punk: Nope.
PM: Okay, i'm going to go run your license, just sit tight...
Punk: No worries.
::Idiot cop walks back to his car::
...in the meantime, another squad pulls up...
Punk: Figures they'd need two cars for something as stupid as this. I can't believe he's writing me a ticket for something this stupid.
Allison Danger (looking in the side mirror of my car): Um, Punker, I want you to keep calm.
Punk: Huh? I am calm, I just think it's stupid that (Punk sees that the second squad is a K-9 unit) WHAT THE gently caress?!?!?!?
Allison: Punk, just keep cool!
Punk: gently caress that, I don't....OH...OH! You've got to be kidding me!
::Officer #2 approachs my car with his DRUG DOG::
Punk rolls down passanger side window and yells at cop
Punk: ARE YOU RIBBING ME? GET THAT loving DOG AWAY FROM MY CAR!
::officer does'nt respond::
Punk: Serisouly, are you loving kidding me? Hey!
::officer starts to knock on Punks car with his hands::
Punk: Okay, Okay! Honestly, you loving DICK, get the gently caress away from my car, or i'll eat your dog.
::Officer #1 approachs Punks car once the dog and officer #2 are dog circling the car::
Officer Dickhead: Can I ask you to step out of the car?
Punk: Absolutely not.
Officer rear end in a top hat: Well, I need to explain this to you...
Punk: Do it with me in the car
Officer Bitchass: Well, can you step out of the car...
Punk: Ya know what, fine...
Now this is where it gets fairly hilarious people. I literally step out of the car, and once i'm fully stood up, i'm at least a foot taller than this cop. The look on his face was priceless. He takes a step back, and I poo poo you not, gulps. I'd imagine i'm horribly frighting looking by this point, because i'm legit furious that this little bullshit profile stop of my car results in a drug dog harassment. He backs up, never taking his eyes off me, and I nearly back him into traffic...
Officer Justshitinhispants: Um...this is your warning.
Punk: Great ::turns to walk away::
Officer Banana Brains: You need to take this, but before I give it to you, what do you want to tell me about what's in your car?
Punk (now turning green): What?
Officer pleasedontkillme: Is there anything in the car you want to tell me about, I'll give you the chance to tell me the truth, why were you in Nashville?
Punk::raising his fists right in the cops face:: What do my knuckles say?!
Cop: Why were you ::gets cut off by a very angry Punk::
Punk: WHAT. DO. MY. KNUCKLES. SAY?
a very sad looking police man: Drug free.
Punk: Exactly, so i'm a little offended about the dog right now.
Copper: Um...okay, well, here's your warning, have a nice day
Punk: Go gently caress yourself.

Reading this back now, it doen't even do it justice. Allison was sure that I was going to jail due to the way I was freaking out
Every day of my life is like this. Never slowing down, always topping the day before. Life is hard, and I hate politics.
Jimmy Rave is going bald.
Bill Behrens is a sonofabitch.
And I, soon to be the leader of the world, am better than you.
Go play in traffic.
Also, R.I.P Sterling James Keenans girlfriends Iguana.

Even if that's true, given Rufusport's attitude towards beginners and sparring, it's entirely possible (and even likely) that every single one of those smoker opponents was a better and more experienced fighter than Gall.

Not to mention, it's smokers. They're practice. Going up against guys you might not be able to beat and trying poo poo you're not sure will work, against an opponent is who absolutely resisting you to the fullest rather than maybe holding back like a gym-mate who knows you have a match coming up would, could mean losses that don't matter for poo poo in the end. We won't know if he's learned anything until the fight.

It's enjoyable to dump on the guy, but my feeling is that he's going to have the basic fundamentals and ability and might look okay for what he really is, but that he's also in his late thirties, heavily beaten up by the pro wrestling and that it's very possible that while Gall and Punk might be around the same level skill wise, Gall is not 37 or so and will take it on youth and the benefits of having it.

I haven't kept up with MMA in a looong time, so hypothetical question: Let's say Dana White and Joe Silva stopped caring about competition and respectability, and had the opportunity to book freakshow matches that would draw money--like if retired pro wrestlers and actors wanted to fight each other. How far could they go before they faced repercussions from the athletic commissions? I'm thinking they just wouldn't medically clear a match like Giant Silva vs. Akebono.
