After plans seemed to call for CM Punk’s UFC debut to come at UFC 202 over SummerSlam weekend, Ariel Helwani is now reporting that the deal for the fight is far from complete.

At this point, it looks like Punk’s debut against Mickey Gall will not come until September 10th at UFC 203 in Cleveland, and Helwani Tweeted the following:

Current plan at the moment is CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall at UFC 203, per sources. Far from a done deal but that’s the direction as of this AM.
