UFC 203: CM Punk reflects on MMA journey days before UFC debut 

YES. MORE LONGER INTERVIEWS AND WALK AND TALKS ARIEL!!!

everything ariel does is great.

Yeah good chemistry

This is a wrestling thing but have you seen the Sam Roberts / Punk interviews? ^^

+Benno Breikopp Very little to deal with wrestling.

That's def AJ speaking because she's all about mental health ❤️ love them both, he's right it's def healthy

Bummed means something else in the U.K. 😬 but hey no shame, No shame.

Am I been wrong Ye ???!! Am I been wrong yee?? -Harambe

"Red panty night for mr gall".-cm punk

"You'll do nutin" - Kenny Florian

"Mickey be blowing up balloons with one hand and throwing gang signs with the other" - C.M. Punk

You don't have to use the periods in *CM*

Me too, I know nothing about WWE, but this guy has class and the balls to step up and try this, I hope he does well.

+Jerome Kaino I'm not so sure. The only thing that worries me is Mickeys Jiu Jit Su, but we'll see if that's even a factor.

aaand he got his ass whooped.

+God yup

God He seems like the type of guy who'll keep going until he gets a few wins or at least a few more fights

Nice kicks too Ariel

He should have done this a long time ago on a more consistent basis. We the viewers want to know the fighters, I watch ppv not because of a certain night, but the connection with the fighters His video with Alvarez was the step in the correct direction And i can tell you for certain, I disliked punk just for the wwe stereotype, but the more I hear him talk, the more I become a fan

+Ryan Thomas this is I think Ariel's 4th in depth interview with Punk. They are all awesome.

+Ryan Thomas becoming a fan too, wasn't ever questioning why he wanted to compete in the ufc but he's modest and humble and an extremely hard worker putting everything on the line for this. I hope he gets the upset!

Gall seems like a douche

Yea but gall has more to lose but am cheering on cm punk side

+decimated550 true hes memes will be so famous im a big punk fan but i just cant see him winning at all mickey is just too fast and active in my eyes

+decimated550 Gall has a lot more to lose. Gall has 2 professional fights and has been training in martial arts for most of his life. Punk has only been training for 1 year and a few months. If Gall loses, how will he recover from losing to a pro-wrestler that has never fought a professional fight? The loss will haunt him forever and if he were to get KOd or TKOd, Gall will very likely find himself in those small time local promotions.

furthermore, Punk win or lose will continue to fight in the UFC if he chooses (which he likely will as he has said he has made this his new career.). Punk also has a lot of money. This is Gall's big opportunity to make some real money and a name for himself. It's also the fight that could get him cut, especially if he loses in an embarrassing way.

Brotha?

Gall will win via MURDER.

Bro you gotta watch out for that gts it's nasty

Hespek

Reptilian Monk OG

Haha I just picked up on this as well. I keep playing that bit over again... Brilliant

I Was going to say haha, he doesnt want to come to the uk and say stuff like that :L

10/10 sir

Yes it does sir, yes it does xD

+Gregory Retzepis no one is a money fight unless it's for a title. Opponents purse doesn't change

+A70k it was a short notice panic pay. Diaz had leverage. Mickey gall doesn't, he'll be getting 12/12 maximum

+Daniel Barcelles it's a absolute disgrace Conor hasn't defended his belt in nearly a year and cm punk goes two years undefeated and doesn't get a title shot

ariel "cupcake pizzaiola' helwani

He loves his dunks

.......

It took a few years but you were quite right.

@@purple_awesome and when he came back a few tears were shed. I forgot about this comment. Thanks for the reminder. What a great time to be a wrestling fan. AEW are killing it

Ye punk will win by a 360 flyin spinning head kick mark my words . Then after he will beat tyrun his teammate to get da belt

same night

he lost

Where you at tho

cult of personality

I wonder if he'll yell "it's clobberin' time!" when he enters the octagon.

+Wedgeman ` there is no ramp

They have the rights to Cult of Personality

That would be sick. But either that one or Cult of Personality is cool.

I know right. I was like err if only he knew lol

bugger him!

Yeah but you never know Saturday he might literally get bummed in the cage

+Phil Deep They invented more than the USA did. Way more intact

Phil Deep UK invented the internet

go back a few years. he had some beauties back in the day lol

he's been doing that on purpose for years.

dana used to call him clown shoes before he decided that he hates him for doing his job lol

those are called "please, notice me!" shoes...

anyone know what kind of shoes punk has on?

Yeah, that was where I started to worry about this guy. In the embedded series, he seems really isolated, doesn't have anyone around him helping him. Doesn't have any help with his weight cut.... I think he's out of his depth and not getting the support he needs (whether he realises he needs it or not).

Could be, wouldn't put it past him. He's an actor first, fight second after all. He did seem sincere but you get the impression that if he really was having issues, he wouldn't be talking about it, even if he acted like he didn't want to talk about it.

Dude doesn't look like he's getting help...

He made weight

He made 170 on the dot today.

I've come to like this dude too but it doesn't mean I have to hate Micky gall just saying.

+Joanne S I do t hate Mickey I just want punk to win in impressive fashion just to shut people up

lol, he lost in an embarrassing fashion.

To be fair; it's Gall's dream too.

yup, like it was said ... it's Mickeys dream too

not sure if you saw the fight but punk got his ass kicked

+richard head yup. I watched the ppv. and he did indeed get his ass kicked. like I said though, win or lose, I am still a Punk fan.

Heart=Earth, same letters arranged differently

+Tyler Durden I never noticed that pretty cool.

Letter "e" told letter "H" "Get back in the line, cutter."

He looks like 180 right now.. The shirt is hanging off him and he isn't big bone anyway. No way that he won't be at 171 on Friday morning.

He said nutrition was common sense, doofus.

Mariah McKay True. Either way, nutrition isn't really common sense just as weight cutting isn't common sense. In general, eating clean and healthy may be common sense but if he is having issues cutting weight than perhaps hiring a nutritionist to assist him, such as Lockhart, would only serve to benefit him.

The fact that he hasn't even done a practice cut is astounding. You'd think a guy in his position would have every angle covered, given his resources and the time he took to prep for this. He's 37 and this is probably the first time he's ever had to cut weight for anything, and now we learn it isn't going so well. So he essentially has to go to war twice this weekend. He never really had much of a chance, but I'm giving him even less of one now.

Joey, You can be right. on this one

You look like Luis Guzman and Sloth from The Goonies had a son who miscarried

+Jameson1111 Hahahaha gotta agree with u

Heyyyyyyyyyy youuuuuuuuu guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys

bro this is youtube and who really cares what nonsense people post for a reaction but c'mon. you must be dealing with some serious depression.

I just wanted to see whos with me on this, aparently nobody lol. I think it'd be cool to witness that, like when you witness a robbery or a car crash, it makea up for a good story or whatever. Its cool to watch

+fcuk41 no kiddin...i saw a vid recently where punk got his first white stripe on his white belt so i assumed he was only a white belt lol

He doesn't do belt ceremonies, bt yes hes nowhere near as experienced as Gall

fun fact Jon Jones is a white belt like punk. never underestimate your opponent.

CM Punk is a 2 time World Wrestling Champion. Not sure the brown belt helps when CM Punk is so incredibly well rounded.

Someone had said he was a purple belt on another vid.

After 5 months i found the solution to this problem... and that was STAY OFF TWITTER and my New Years Resolution. :)

its because he was going through a weight cut. you have to practically drain yourself of nutrients to cut weight.

Too thin from the weight cut.

The only reason he wouldn't is out of respect to Chris. Love the song though, so I'd love to hear that music again

Probably should've done a trial weight cut

+Tyler Durden he did

you realize the guys trolling brainless idiots like you who cling to any bit of news you can get to bash him? 😂

+Tyler Durden nevermind hadn't hotbthat far in thought I heard he did

2 years training at an elite MMA gym

you forgot ''plastered'' in the sentence though..

I hope your right. I just hope CM doesn't lose badly.

hahahaha clatters on that canvassss

Ya you were wrong

And then you wake up and find out the Punk lost in an embarrassing way.

Why? He got paid, it was his job that he choose to do, no one put a gun too his head and forced him to fight. This RU-vid community idea that someone is courageous for stepping into a octagon is laughable. It is a fight, thousands of regular people fight every day, at school, in the street, for their jobs, in prisons, in the military. Except many of those fights dont have referees, rules against low blows, and rules banning weapons. They fight in situations wher you cannot simply tap out. There is nothing ordained heroic about simply stepping foot in a octagon. It is a narrative UFC tells you, but in the end it is a regulated fight.

yeah i respect him for not paying his dues and jumping straight into a ufc ppv card to be whored off for the sake of money and making a mockery of his own self .

Ivan Drago Respect, "A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements." I guess you thought he did something heroic which he didn't because yes people fight verbally/physically all the time. I'm just giving him MY respect and believe others should have even the little most of respect for him. For simply starting something he wanted to pursue, ACTUALLY TRAINING and preparing himself besides of people thinking he was just doing it for fame, (people actually thought he was not training which I thought was hilarious). And finally actually going into the situation of a MMA fight.

He was a "UFC fighter".... why wouldn't be step in the octagon?

It's in January

lol, this guy is one of the most arrogant douchebags ever.

Lol, you don't win a "Pro wrestling" title fool. The WWE decides your going to get it.

+Jason Becker still getting that decisions is really hard

Does the Hardcore Belt still exist?? haven't kept up with the WWF since 2001

+EDeeire the hardcore belt haha why would you bring that up haha it ended in 2002 I actually would like to see it back I enjoyed the backstage brawls

you work for it though

i bet ur bummed that he got his ass kicked in first round

Not really, he had the balls to do it in the first place

I think he should keep his thing in his pants.

+Abigail T goddammit😂

He's keeping it in his wife

@@ricemenarq6230 since he's not winning he might as well

would be cool

he did one with conor in dublin.

Yeah let's hear Nate and Nick play the victim for an hour straight. Full of excuses as always. Especially Nick

Big Bob ya lets hear your excuses why you got so fat lmao

+*K131399* you do realize that's not really me right? Lol now let's hear your excuse on why you're so stupid...

$500k for that sign me up

Yes!

What was it?

Ariel: It's good to see you. Chael/Punk: It's good to be seen.

he is an inspiring guy, i feel he can go back again and win

Lol
