CM Punk and Mike Jackson on the UFC 225 : It took two minutes and 14 seconds for Mickey Gall to derail the hype train which probably shouldn’t have existed for someone that hadn’t fought as an amateur, let alone a professional.
To his credit, though, Punk has continued honing his craft with his team recently claiming that he’s 200% better than what we all saw in his debut. With Punk being proud of where he comes from, it came as no surprise that UFC president Dana White came through on his promise and officially announced that Punk’s second fight in the organisation will take place against Mike Jackson at UFC 225 in Chicago, Illinois on June 9.
The event, like UFC 226 after it, is shaping up to be a brilliant card.
Robert Whittaker defends the middleweight championship in a rematch against Yoel Romero, Holly Holm is back in action against Megan Anderson, the interim welterweight title fight is one that is drawing plenty of excitement with Rafael dos Anjos going up against Colby Covington while Overeem vs. Curtis Blaydes is one that can impact the heavyweight rankings.

So, it’s going to be a great night and with so many excellent fights taking place. However, the majority of UFC fans have been venting their frustration and annoyance on social media when it was revealed that CM Punk had made the official poster, with the likes of Holm and Anderson being snubbed.
