This weekend, former WWE Star CM Punk made his professional MMA debut against Mickey Gall at UFC 203. Things didn’t go well for Punk as he got dominated the entire two minutes and ended up getting choked out.
Yesterday, Punk’s pay for the fight was revealed which pissed off several veteran UFC fighters who make a fraction of what Punk made.
