UFC fighter Mike Jackson, who has a UFC and MMA record of 0-1, with his loss suffered at the hands of Mickey Gall, recently told MMA Junkie he wants to be CM Punk’s second opponent in UFC. Below are some quotes from Jackson on wanting to face the also 0-1 CM Punk.On wanting to face CM Punk:
“I’ve gotten wind that Punk wants to get another fight, and it only makes sense.”
On a bout with CM Punk being good for business:
“It’s about making money. I’m a businessman, so I understand the logistics of all of this. As a fight fan, I remember when I heard about (Punk fighting in MMA). I was like, ‘No, no one wants to see that.’ But people are going to tune in for the spectacle of it.”
On what he and Punk have in common:
“The experience is the same. We both have a loss to Mickey Gall. He can’t go in there and fight dudes with a lot of experience, as opposed to bringing in someone else with very limited MMA experience. It only makes sense to put us both in there.”
