UFC featherweight Sam Sicilia (15-6) appeared on the Three Amigos Podcast to express his sentiments on CM Punk. Down below are the highlights:
On CM Punk: “I really hope we’re done with it now,” Siciliia said. “We’ve been pushed on, he’s done every commercial in the last couple of weeks, and now he got smashed by another guy who doesn’t belong there anyways. But yeah, I just hope we’re done with that kind of stuff so we can get to the elite fighters and watching the best fighters, instead of some dork that wanted to try it out. If it was up to me, if I was matchmaking, I’d have him fight Hector Lombard or something, so he’s lucky. He’s lucky he got Mickey Gall, some 2-0 guy. I’m like, ‘You want to come in and see what it’s really like in the UFC? That’s not even what it’s really like!’ That guy’s 2-0! Everybody else that had to get there had to beat up everybody in their local circuit. That guy is 2-0 and still trashed him. I just hope we’re done with it, I’m like, ‘Okay you guys saw what happened and that is what happened. A skilled guy fights a Punk and there you go.’ Hopefully we’re done with that kind of stuff. I doubt it, but I hope so.”
His Sentiments On Punk Still Wanting To Do MMA: “I hope not,” said Sicilia. “I mean, how much did he really sell? Was it really that big of a deal? I really don’t believe he’s that big of a draw. You know [Brock Lesnar] comes in and does these things, but before I knew Brock as a WWE guy and this and that, I remember watching that guy wrestle at Minnesota and being like, ‘What a freak of nature.’ I got 170ers at my gym that make CM Punk look like an old man. I don’t get what the deal is there with the straight edge and the WWE bullshit, with no combat background besides WWE. Apparently, Mickey Gall didn’t get the script, you know? He just went and took care of him.”
