UFC 203 CM PUNK VS. MICKEY GALL MEDIA CALL
CM PUNK VS. MICKEY GALL MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS
Las Vegas – CM Punk and his opponent, Mickey Gall discussed their upcoming fight during a Wednesday, Sept. 1 media conference call. Former pro wrestling star CM Punk will make his long awaited UFC debut at UFC® 203: MIOCIC vs. OVEREEM Saturday, Sept. 10 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Gall, who debuted in the UFC earlier this year, looks to improve to 3-0 as a professional and make a name for himself by defeating his highly celebrated opponent.
Following are highlights from Wednesday’s conference call:
Mickey Gall – “I’m not particularly impressed, just different things, the way he moves. I’m sure he’s improved tremendously since that footage (on FS1) but I know when he gets to the fight, we get into (it), those bad habits tend to come out and I know I’ll be able to expose those.”
CM Punk – “It’s a correct depiction of where I was at when it was shot, three back surgeries, walking round with a herniated disk, 15 percent power in my left leg. It’d be like me watching one of Mickey’s fights and expecting to fight that guy. Mickey trains his ass off and he trains with a good team. He’s not going to be the same guy he was in his last fight just like I’m not going to be the same guy you saw on the television show.”
CM Punk – “I see my hand getting raised and I’m not really one for making predictions. I definitely see myself winning, and if I had to pick, I’d pick TKO. I want to show out. I want to show up. I want to beat Mickey. I don’t really give a (expletive) how I do it. ”
Mickey Gall – “Bottom line is we’re going to fight. I think a lot of people are very excited for this, but everything I’m seeing…we’re not going to put on and pretend to hate each other. There’s an appropriate amount of buildup. I think people are excited and I know we both are.”
CM Punk – “People either love me or hate me already. I’m not trying to talk anybody into the building on this one. I think the allure is just the fact that it’s happening. The story writes itself. It’s not a fabricated thing where I need to create some drama between me and Mickey. We’re going to fight. That’s the beauty of it. It doesn’t need to be a weird, verbal pissing contest.”
CM Punk – “This is a competition…I’d imagine our hunger is absolutely the same. You want to prove yourself right. You want to prove the naysayers wrong. You want to show that you belong there, and on top of that, you’re doing something that you love to do and something that you worked very hard at on a daily basis. So there’s somebody else trying to take that away from you and your job is to not let that happen.”
Mickey Gall – “I’m always asked about why I think there’s tough guys from Jersey. I think it’s just everyone thinks they can fight so you find yourself in a couple.”
