"hey," cm punk says, turning the chair around to sit in it a.c. slater style. "you know what's cool? respecting your fans. respecting your co-workers. and respecting your employer. sick days are a privilege one mustn't abuse...men show up on saturdays... boys play hooky."

mike jackson, iirc, was mickey gall's hand chosen tomato can to get gall's first professional win against prior to fighting punk. in fact, when the ufc approached him about taking the gall fight, jackson wasn't even fighting anymore, and mike thought they meant come shoot the show, as jackson was now a photographer. anyway, mike filled his role of getting beaten by the young upstart gall, who went on to thrash charles montgomery punkington the third. the ufc generally gets guys on multi-fight contracts, so they figured that since they were still in the cm punk fight business, why not have the two guys who got their rear end kicked by mickey gall have a scrap? maybe punk won't look so embarrassing if we put him in there against a can who thought he was being approached by a fight promotion to take pictures and not fight. so, punk and mike jackson have a fist fight. punk is so out of his depth that a mostly retired regional pro could hold him down and attempt punches while refusing to look at his intended punch recipient. mike clowned punk in such a way that many saw it as unsporting. it's like a wrestling sqash when, i dunno, wardlow refuses to pin a guy, but instead of a powerbomb symphony, he'd talk out of his rear end like jim carrey in ace ventura instead of any violence whatsoever and then still refuse to pin the guy when, inexplicably, the rear end-talking was doing damage. anyway, the ufc was really pissed at mike jackson and dana white said jackson would never fight in the ufc again. well, there's a meme of the polaroid from "memento" that says "don't believe his lies" on it and the pic is of dana white, so of course mike later got another fight. like mike was set-up to lose against gall, there was another fighter the promotion wanted to get a win so they could fast track him to stardom. the fella was a striker from ireland, and if there's anything a red-faced bostonian like dana white likes, it's a guy who is actually from ireland so they threw mike jackson to him. anyway, the irishman poked jackson so hard in the goddamn eye the fight was called off and mike took another win off a guy the ufc wanted to win, in embarassing fashion, after the ufc said the guy would never fight for them again. it is very funny, and very cool to me

Shard posted:Mike jackson sounds like a cool dude. yeah he rules. the win he had on cm punk was overturned to a no contest because jackson pissed hot for weed, so you know that angered cm punk too

Shard posted:How is weed supposed to make you a better fighter to the point where you have an unfair advantage over your opponent and a decision should be overturned? in a ufc thread back in the day, a pro cyclist talked about it actually having some benefit in performance and state agencies being right to ban it. i don't recall what they were, but he was insistent and a pro athlete, so ill defer to him  . i think it was about helping recovery? years back, most conbat sports agencies had a fairly low threshold for THC. basically, you might pop hot if you smoked within a few weeks of a fight. PSP favorite nick diaz popped a few times actually because the diaz brothers don't give a gently caress. once cannabis legalization took off, most state agencies increased the THC testing threshold to be basically you couldn't smoke day-of, but in illinois where the fight happened (of course  ! chicago!!!!), they still had strict rules that jackson was ignorant of or ignored. it was some bullshit as the overturning wasn't even announced until like 3 years after it happened lol, so technically, cm punk's very embarassing loss never happened because of weed

he can't take public transit or ride share services. what if someone doesn't know he's a trained fighter and they make a comment about glass or weed or something and he snaps? he's a very sensitive boy

as an mma fan first and foremost, id pay up to and including $200 for a ppv in which miro and punk shoot fight. a mega-strong fella with a sambo background would probably lawn dart his rear end into the floor
