UFC boss Dana White has admitted it might be time for CM Punk to hang up his gloves after the former WWE star's second-straight lopsided bout.
The former professional wrestler, who's real name is Phillip Brooks, shocked combat sports fans when it was announced he had signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC in 2016.
After forging a strong career in the WWE, he was looking to follow in the footsteps of Brock Lesnar and take his talents into the octagon.
However, with no background in the professional mixed martial arts arena, CM Punk ( was quickly found out in his debut.
It took the 39-year-old CM Punk 638 days to step back inside the octagon for another bout, where by unanimous decision to Mike Jackson at UFC 225 in his home town of Chicago.
Jackson, who also entered the bout with an 0-1 record after also losing his UFC debut against Gall, dominated the match but was unable to get the stoppage. While CM Punk forced the bout to go to the cards, there was no doubt that Jackson had it won.
The former WWE star was reportedly taken to hospital to receive treatment after the fight, with plenty of battle wounds showing on his face.
