According to MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani, CM Punk will be undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back, and subsequently his UFC debut fight against Mickey Gall will be delayed.

Punk had the following to say to Helwani, noting that his back has always been something that bothered him, likely stemming from his pro wrestling days:

“It got bad enough to the point where I couldn’t do anything the week before I went to train with the New Jersey Devils last month. One day I could manage, the next day I couldn’t. I’ve been in agony for almost a month. Chiropractor, acupuncture, massage, cryotherapy, nothing worked,” Punk told MMA Fighting.
