He wasn't set up to fail against CM Punk, he was pretty much guaranteed to beat the absolute shit out of him
even WWE noobs that I talked to knew that CM Punk was going to get his ass kicked.
So you mean the UFC wanted him to lose; that is true. But he benefited from it.No he definitely was set up to fail.
I'm not saying that it made sense Punk would win, but they wanted someone young and inexperienced as the opponent.
So you mean the UFC wanted him to lose; that is true. But he benefited from it.
The UFC hoped Punk would succeed. Why did they invest in him otherwise?
Gall wasn't chosen by accident for the Punk fight.
And let's be honest here, does anyone seriously think the UFC wanted Gall to beat Sage? Let's be real.
Mickey GOAT
Of course they hoped he would win, just like I hope I win the lottery. It doesn't mean that they realistically thought he would. Punk was always a freakshow that they could milk for a few fights maximum, like James Toney.
When you say hype train it is implied that many people think a fighter is going to make a big impact in the sport, and no one ever had those expectations about Punk.
How the fuck was CM Punk a hype train?...and he went 2-0, while derailing two hype trains in the process.
I'm really starting to like this kid.
The guy can fight. He really can.
Gall has been given the easiest three fight win streak in UFC history.
This is not an exaggeration.you cannot find three worse fighters on the roster
How the fuck was CM Punk a hype train?
Gall is gonna find it difficult going forward, he's still a bit too green, and I'm not sure how many LW fighters I'd pick him to beat, it won't happen but it would be better for him to spend the next 18 months getting 5 fights at a lower level.
