UFC's Dana White Confirms That Mike Jackson Will Be CM Punk's Next Opponent In The Octagon
White recently confirmed that he was going to give Punk "another shot" in the octagon after his humiliating loss to Mickey Gall, and now he's confirmed a long-standing rumor that Jackson will be his opponent.
Dana White has confirmed to TMZ that former WWE champion CM Punk will indeed face Mike Jackson at the UFC 225 card on June 9 in Punk's hometown of Chicago.
Jackson, who was beaten by Gall for the right to face Punk in the first place, has been taunting his opponent on Twitter for a while now in the hopes of getting the opportunity to throw hands with him, and it looks like he's going to get this chance this June.
Let's hope the one-time "straight-edge superstar" is better prepared for this fight!
