CM Punk, 37 years old, has no doubt that he will win the fight on September 10th, at UFC 203. “Honestly, I'm not assuming that I'm going to win. I vou win. I have never been more confident in something in my entire life,” he said, in an interview with the North American radio station “Hot 97”.
The new MMA athlete admits that his preparation was difficult, despite being fun. “I wish I could fight tomorrow. I feel incredible. You feel all drained in the middle of the week, so you need to learn how to balance things. It's difficult, but I love it, which makes everything almost easy. I'm having fun like never before. [After the fight] I'll probably sit on the beach for a while, take a vacation with my wife, but I'll get bored quickly and want to move on. I’ll want to book my second fight as soon as I can,” he commented.
CM Punk's opponent, Mickey gall, is 24 years old and has already had two professional MMA fights, with two victories. One of them, in fact, was in the UFC: in February, he defeated Mike Jackson with a quick submission.
