In terms of UFC, does this really hurt their credibility as a promotion? It can't help it. At least other questionable fighters were legitimate athletes. But being this could be just a one time thing, perhaps could this be the control/scale for how someone with only two years of intense training compares to MMA's elite?

I wonder if the beatdown was gonna happen regardless or if Gall got berserk after Punk insulting him and not shaking his hand, like if Punk was more respectful would Gall just would've submitted him without causing so much damage?
Also I've never seen an ear like that after an mma match. Just damn.

Speaking of which, did Punk give an actual reason for not shaking the hand at the weigh-in? I didn't hear about that until after the fight.

Well, Dana confirmed that Gall/Northcutt is going to happen after Sage's team contacted him and said they'd take the fight.
Should be fun.

Werdum is saying his foot was fractured the entire time. Talk about burying Browne. Browne is slowly but surely reaching the Bob Sapp level of ineptitude.

I'd take Fred Ettish over Punk.

I don't know much about UFC, but Dana White is carny as f*** for letting Punk fight. It'd be like if WWE booked a celebrity match and expected someone like the green arrow guy to do a foley bump off the cell.

Also this gem from the post fight press conference
"Werdum says Tarverdyan said, "Shut your mouth you motherf'er."
"My mom says never say bad things. He started."

I don't know if it's just because I see it over and over, but Punk's shuffle across the Octagon makes me crack up laughing.

I'd take Fred Ettish over Punk. Uh...what? What's the big deal about this? He threw a punch, Gall level changed and threw a double leg. Punk defended well and sprawled properly until he was taking back to the cage and didn't get his hips out. You know. An absolutely completely common thing that happens in tons of MMA fights.

If Triple H saw Punk right now, he'd probably hug him, because when he saw that ear, he'd temporarily think Punk was a resurrected Killer Kowaski.

Generic pro wrestling Heel stuff basically. Wow, that's it? I mean, did Gall disrespect him at any point leading up to the fight? Did Punk's first venture into an actual sport start with him throwing respectable sportsmanship out the window? Does refusing to shake hands happen a lot at these weigh-ins?

It usually always turns fans against you if you do it. People did it with Rousey when she refused to touch gloves with Holm. Punk probably knew exactly what he was doing.

What we really need to see now is if Gall can defeat Teddy Hart.
