Well, the pro wrestling veteran finally did something other than have a famous name to better promote his fight!
At today’s ceremonial weigh-in event at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio for his fight tomorrow night (Sept. 10, 2016) at UFC 203 in the same venue, CM Punk hit the scale (he weighed in at 170-pounds), played to the crowd, then refused to shake hands with his opponent, Mickey Gall, before their staredown.
Gall was no fan of this, as he made clear by saying whatever he said to Punk during the photo op before making it even clearer with his body language as he walked away. The whole time, Punk just stared at him.
When Gall was gone, Punk smiled, then played to the crowd some more.
If you didn’t already have some kind of feeling about this bout, this little exchange may have stirred something up in you. Or you’re one of the 21,578 people making the “I can’t believe he didn’t stick to the Code of Honor” joke.
Either way, can we get to the fight already?!?
