CM Punk vs Mickey Gall full fight video preview for UFC 203 PPV in Cleveland

Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar Phil Brooks -- aka "CM Punk" -- will make his Octagon debut against up-and-coming welterweight standout Mickey Gall at the upcoming UFC 203 pay-per-view (PPV) event inside Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sat., Sept. 10, 2016.

Brooks (0-0) announced his transition to mixed martial arts (MMA) in late 2014; however, the 37-year-old grappler was in no hurry to get his hands dirty inside the Octagon. Once he did commit to a debut date, following tutelage from Duke Roufus, injuries kept him at bay.

Gall (2-0), meanwhile, won the "Punk" lottery by choking out fellow upstart Mike Jackson at UFC Fight Night 82 back in February. The 24-year-old submission specialist wisely opted to ride the pine until his opponent was ready, as opposed to risking his high-profile fight by staying busy.

Here to tell you all about it, by way of embedded video above, is UFC color commentator Joe Rogan.
