On whether Mickey thought CM Punk had developed any skills that concerned him:
MG: Not particularly. I know what two year guys are like. He’s a two year fighter. He said his biggest mistake was trudging across that ring aggressively. I think his biggest mistake was signing that paper to fight me. He fought the wrong guy. If he was going to do anything or show anything off he had the wrong guy. I beat him in all aspects.
On what message Mickey would like to send to pro wrestling fans who may have tuned in to UFC for the first time to watch his fight with CM Punk:
MG: Hi guys, I’m Mickey Gall. I punch people in the face and choke them. Check out some MMA. If you guys dig the violence. If you dig the action… as the UFC says, “This is as real as it gets.” I hope you guys enjoy.
