Why though? Seems like something that could very easily leak. MMA seems to be such a tight knit community and no doubt word of this stuff can travel around quickly.
I think thats what I mean. It's so pointless. I don't know any Gym that would entertain smokers when you can just bring in sparring partners who can go hard and simulate a fight and if your fighter loses it's no biggie and no "smoker". It's just so completely pointless. Bisping is being facetious. At best he means sparring partners were brought in and they laid a whooping on CMP - which would happen anyway as if you are bringing in talent its because they are experienced and as CMP isn't - well he's never gonna get the upper hand

This. You don't get better unless you get your ass kicked for a while.

I'm not a WWE fan at all, but putting Mickey Gall vs Punk seems like a huge mismatch.

Why would u put someone 0-0 vs 2-0 fighter?? They should put a 0-0 vs 0-0 fight, make it a fair fight.

The UFC always fucks up new signess First fights..
Lauren Murphy vs Sarah McMann
Rin Nakai vs Meisha
Alvarez vs Cerrone
And there others I can't remember right now. Instead of lettin then get their feet wet they make swim at deep water..oh well who cares about CM punk I guess

As I understand the situation they probably couldn't afford getting 2 guys on the roster who can't fight, so they went with a 0-0 guy who just won his fight..did it on the show of fight pass so Dana can get some numbers but probably didn't even check the kids background..and we're here now

from what im hearing is the 1 out of 16 fights he won was against a potato chip bag from subway, it took him a while but he opened it.

Here's my thought on Phil Brooks..... He had a massive fan base due to his tenure in the WWF (because THAT'S what I grew up calling it.... Fuck pandas), and he was a fan of MMA. After his pro wrestling career ended, he wanted to fight MMA and got with a decent fight camp. Him fighting and winning or losing doesn't take money out of my pocket, nor does it keep food off my table. There is way too much hate for the guy and his desire to fight.

Will he be successful? Probably not... Will he ruin the UFC and Zuffa's "stellar reputation"? No more than Reebok, Dana, or steroids (hell, probably way less)... Is he truly keeping any fighter from fighting in the UFC? Hell no..... So who cares if he's KOed getting Starbucks in the morning, or subs his dry cleaner.... He's a polarizing fighter who is bringing a larger focus on MMA (well more than those fighters who claim they're being overlooked because of him), and regardless, he's ATTEMPTING to get into the cage. He's probably going to get subbed against Gall (if he actually gets to fight), and we'll never see him again, so who cares that he got beat up in training fights.... At least he's getting his rounds in

true but from what i hear CM punk is a star, so the opponent is irrelevant. Therefore the smart thing would be to put CM punk vs an out of shape 0-0 fighter. Like NorthCuts first opponent in the UFC, who cares not my billion dollar company...i wouldve given Punk a very winnable fight, vs Gall he has almost no chance.


also Gall would be goin into his 3rd pro fight

What if I told you guys that Bisping is fishing for the biggest money fight he'd ever see? Seriously, how do you guys not see that.

The fact we're even talking about this guy is such a massive embarrassment to the UFC. How desperate were they prior to the Ronda/McGregor boom for PPV buys? LOL, I mean seriously. The UFC in Dana White's world is supposed to be the NFL of MMA, and here we let in someone with zero fight experience into the league. Such a bunch of retarded horseshit.
