CM Punk Says He’s Not Trying to “Talk Anybody Into the Building” for UFC 203 Fight, Explains Why He Doesn’t Need to Trash Talk Like McGregor

F4WOnline.com participated in a CM Punk media call today to hype his fight against Mickey Gall at UFC 203. During the call, Punk had the following to say about his UFC debut, and why he doesn’t need to trash talk to hype the bout and build up UFC 203:

“I don’t see the need for it. You know? People either love me or hate me already. I’m not trying to talk anybody into the building on this one. I think the allure is just the fact that it’s happening. You know what I mean? And the story writes itself, so it’s not a fabricated thing where I need to, kind of create some drama between me and Mickey.

We’re going to fight. That’s the beauty of it. You know? It doesn’t need to be a weird verbal p*ssing contest. I think some of these guys, while it is entertainment and it’s the sh*t talk business, I just don’t see it, I don’t see it happening this time.”
