I don't think he'll throw it. It wouldn't benefit him at all to throw it. He's only fighting in the UFC because he called Punk out so if he loses he'll likely never fight in the UFC again. For Gall its win or else.

Went for one punch and Gall went under him and put him on the ground. Surprised Punk lasted that long before tapping.

A lot of commentators predicted Punk would try to rush Gall from the start. Maybe get lucky with a punch and knock Gall out, or somehow slip behind him and get a choke out. Otherwise if he tries to stand up with him, Gall likely takes Punk down and we see the result we saw anyways. Might as well take the risk and rush.

Props to Punk, he worked his ass off and got to live out a dream. Took a lot of courage to step in the Octagon like he did.

As much as Punk got dominated, he lasted longer than Gall's last opponent who was submitted in 45 seconds.

Btw, the Browne-Werdum fight was absolutely pathetic. First off, two guys with really bad bodies and it looked like fitness was a problem. Second, did Browne truly have such a low level of confidence in his ground game? He got Werdum down a few times but wouldn't even try to pounce and take advantage. Not even later in the fight when he needed to. Werdum tried to mock him by staying on the ground but that was an embarrassment to the UFC IMO because Werdum looked super unathletic trying to get up on his own. I'm glad the crowd booed them out of the arena.

Third, Joe Rogan is right, how is a dislocated finger any different than any other sort of injury that wouldn't stop a fight? Browne got his time stoppage because Copeland (btw, is the UFC going to drug test this guy?) wasn't sure what happened, but that won't be looked back upon in a good way.

Finally, the best action was after the fight when the two camps got into it. The UFC should have let them fight because the crowd paid money to see a true stinker for the real fight.

Miocic is an absolute beast. And in comparison to the fight before he put on an absolute show. That arena was lit for their hometown hero!

I would love to see Miocic get a chance to avenge his loss to Dos Santos.
