The UFC announced on Thursday that we finally have an exact date for CM Punk’s first fight. Since signing with the UFC in 2014, Punk’s debut has been delayed due to injuries but it looks like we finally will see him fight. The UFC announced that he will fight at UFC 203 in Cleveland against Mickey Gall. The event takes place on September 10th 2016 in the Quicken Loans Arena. It is the first ever UFC event in Cleveland.
