Fight card as follows, Key at the bottom
Heavyweight Stipe Miocic (c) vs. Alistair Overeem
Heavyweight Fabrício Werdum vs. Travis Browne
Welterweight CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall
Bantamweight Urijah Faber vs. Jimmie Rivera
Women's Strawweight Jéssica Andrade vs. Joanne Calderwood
Bold Denotes Current Champion
Underline Denotes No.1 Contenders match
Italic Denotes UFC Debut
TV Coverage: BT Sports 2, Main card 3am, Prelims 1am
See Third fight of course for my point.
Hope he gets off to a solid start but the nerves must be crippling, then there's the biggest point, you can't train a chin in a few years, the first real shot he takes is going to crumble him, Lesnar's a beast but even he can barely take a clean shot, Batista was the worst though. It's going to be very interesting to see what type of fighter he's looking to be, I always assumed he'd go for a grappling/submission game. Just hope it's not all over in one night. I know absolutely nothing about Mickey Gall but I'm hoping he isn't a big puncher and is just a tune up squash match.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
Seems we'll see both shooting for the mat then. Makes sense to avoid matching him with a puncher in his first fight, still, with two first round chokes it could be a quick night.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
CM Punk is destroyed in the first round of his debut. He's done, the questions have been answered, he can't defend a punch from the ground and he was absolutely dismantled on the ground game too. He stood absolutely no chance and this was against a 24 year old newcomer. There's far better fighters that would've left Punk's face in a mess in the same position there.
I don't see a single fight now that has a different outcome, 2 years in the making and its all gone. I'd be pretty surprised to see him fight again.
Personal notes, it was pretty disheartening to watch, he didn't even get a chance. A demolition job but still sad to watch. Took balls of steel to take a UFC fight as your first but you don't just become an ultimate fighter in two years vs people who have been trading punches since teenage years.
For those wondering how he got on and how it unfolded. He lunged in with a strike from the first bell, got taken down instantly and was pounded with big blows before being choked into submission. It was horrible watching 2 years of prep being squashed in minutes.
Hope he can get on good terms with WWE again one day and put this venture behind him. He isn't the first to take the gamble and come out looking far worse. Batista won his MMA debut but looked absolutely horrible against an overweight journeyman that rocked him and dropped him several times. Bobby Lashley is another former WWE star that has avoided the UFC, likely because his chin is akin to paper.

Actually watching MNR for this! Given his short stint in WWE he's going to be anonymous to the younger crowd.

They've been in sports for decades, Ken. Wrestling was far, far more blatant about it before Vince McMahon was charged with steroid dealing in 1993.
