What are C.M. Punk's Keys to the Cage on Saturday?

[Ghost in the Dark]

Both fighters are looking to level out their records from 0-1 to 1-1, having picked up an L against Mickey Gall. Jackson is known as a devastating Muay Thai striker but how will Punk be looking to counteract that and impose his own gameplan?

 

[Rebel_LioN]

Maybe he shouldn’t gallop like a pony across the cage

 

[bandicoot]

Sprawl and brawl

 

[HelpYouFall]

Obviously, the Go To Sleep is the touch of death.

 

[BKB92]

Try and out work him against the cage.

Punk has good cardio we think, that's about it.

He'll lose a striking match and neither's grappling is well regarded it seems.

 

[Rygu]

-Learn to strike
-Learn to avoid takedowns
-Learn submission defense

 

[Warehouse]

Use teh jab to step up his devastating head kicks.

 

[Blicious]

No known weaknesses

 

[mirror45]

Punk should take him to the ground

 

[irish_thug]

Hope his opponent slips and injures himself at the opening of round one.

 

[TrainAllDay]

Calm down

 

[007]

He has had 4 years to work on something. I'd think it is to get the fight to the ground and sink in a choke

 

[Rygu]

To connect with one of those world class uppercuts that even GGG would be jelly over.

 

[Silverstar17]

Punk has to get it to the mat or he will get annihilated again. This time on the feet.

From what I have seen his striking is pretty bad.

I don't know much about his groundgame other than that he gets eaten alive by a competent grappler. But grappling seems to be jacksons weakness as well.

So if Punk finds success it will likely be on the mat. But I have my doubts.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

run

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Guillotine is the best newb submission. Most newbs tap as well. It’s a win win situation nobody gets hurt.

 

[AC1D1K]

dont you swipe your reebok member card to get into the octagon these days? no more keys (jon used the keys for bumps!)

 

[Tugboat]

The wrestletard paying for ppv. That’s the only reason he’s on the card.

Dat right hand

 

[91 seconds]

He's going to punch Jackson in the thighs till he can't move.
