***spoilers*** UFC News and Discussion Thread

Well... He tried

Posts merging made that blow my mind line look like I made it before the fight.

Not that there was a lot of time between the entrances and the end of the fight so there wasn't much time for any of you to post during the fight. 

[=BK=]

See, this is a perfect example of why I'm a Wrestling guy and not an MMA guy. 2 years of wait and those big long entrances for that little fight. In Wrestling you'd get a war.

 

Still, glad Punk got to do what he wanted and went for it. He seems happy.

[Bobfoc]

Maybe Punk can't fight with the UFC roster, but he can still talk very well. That was a nice interview from someone who just got dominated.

I do believe him Punk when he says he wants to come back. It relies on whether UFC want him to continue and whether Roufussports wants to keep him on. He may not ever win though.  

[The Buscher]

I'm sure he does want to come back, nobody would want to spend two years of training and have that be the only output.

It'll be dependent on if UFC think him fighting again would be little more than a sideshow exhibition, or if they think he could actually muster some offense next time.  I give him credit for getting in there and giving it a try, even though nearly everybody who follows the sport closely had him pegged not just for a loss but for a first round decision.

Joe Rogan kept talking about how "This is what happens when a brown belt spars with a white belt" and the first thing that popped into my head was Punk saying that he didn't do BJJ "to earn belts" as if earning a belt level in a martial art makes you some kind of a mark or something. Oh well.

[C-MIL]

Where he comes from, they're not supposed to call them "belts".

Jason Ellis has tweeted Dana White to offer his services to fight Punk next.

Or, we could finally get that CM Punk vs. Green Ranger fight

[Arjen Robben]

Are we sure Tyson Kidd is actually injured and didn't just go in to MMA under the name Mickey Gall?

[Pizza]

Now now, it's not over yet, Mickey could still fail the drug tests. 

[CobraKaiEnTai]

Since it was in the same arena as Royal Rumble 2014, does this mean we'll get a bunch of still images focusing on C.M. Punk's ass.............getting handed to him?

[=BK=]

[Rich]

Ignoring the media circus around Punk.... That main event was crazy fun.

Oh, and Lawler Cerrone will not be happening at UFC 205 as Lawler never agreed to it and wants more time off after being KO'd by Woodley.

 

and finally... Cerrone offered to take the place of Dolloway at 205lbs tonight at short notice, the man is crazy.

[Noah]

I love how overeem plays the pr game on one hand and praises the city but on the other hand he claims the hometown hero tapped out and he should be champ.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

So...about Punk's "NEVER GIVE UP SPEECH"

 

[LUKIE]

He got well and truly destroyed. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
