well at the open workouts CM Punk showed a mastery of the Gracie Combatives System© and took the back 3 times, while Mickey Gall was doing nonsense like rolling kneebars

"Is a nutritionist helping you?"

"Nah. It's just common sense."

When in Evolution of Punk he saw a nutritionist who was going to give him a reasonable plan to lose 1-2 lbs a week and he thought it would take too long.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Tom Lawlor walking out to "Like A Prayer" was apparently totally fine though.

Remember when it was a certainty that UFC would find a can or two for Punk to crush? Simpler times.

It's not hard to argue that they tried to, they just failed because Punk's level is extremely low.

I am having a hard time believing that Punk is this bad and out of his league. I am starting to think that the documentary, the sparring sessions and interviews is just an elaborate plan to give Gall the false impression that he will dominate the fight. I'm kind of thinking Punk is going to come out as a beast and was faking is out the whole time.

I wonder if Punk is going to be Rumble Johnson levels of overweight or emaciated and dehydrated to the point of near-death. It has to be one, right?

lol. the first time i ever cut weight for a fight while training at duke roufus (which was my first fight ever and first time cutting weight), i had to cut 30 pounds to make 265 (i was fat back then) and the amateur coach was all "nah, don't do a test cut, you look like you'll do fine you look like youll drop weight easily." it was amature so same-day weigh-ins. i had to rehydrate in like 2 hours and gassed about 2 minutes into the thing. i barely won with a hail mary sub because my opponent was even fatter and a short dude and i just kinda plowed him into the fence and went for the flying triangle, which he was too gassed and inflexible to escape.

so ya, i absolutely believe they wouldnt have him do a test cut.

Assume that all my posts are prefaced with "all I know about combat sports is poo poo I picked up from watching the occasional UFC event", but Punk doesn't look like he has to cut a LOT to my casual-rear end eyes. It's probably a bad idea to do it for the first time in your UFC debut without any special guidance tho, even if you need to cut 10lbs.

quote:

MMA fighter Mickey Gall, who doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page and will take on former WWE wrestler CM Punk at UFC 203, had planned to use Toni Basil’s “Mickey” at his entrance music Saturday. Clever, right? UFC president Dana White wasn’t on board.

In today’s episode of UFC 203 Embedded, Gall gets a phone call from White. The fighter tells everyone in the car that White “wants something harder” for Gall’s entrance song.

Gall doesn’t mention a replacement track, so it should be assumed that White will make him walk out to a dubstep remix of “Bodies” by Drowning Pool.

Punk ate a Stunner while sparring with a vanilla midget and he's gonna get squashed, brother.
