The star wrestler seemed to be full of confidence though he knew the challenge ahead of him. There was checking done by the guards and Punk hugged his coaches. He removed his T-shirt and trousers to get into the Octagon. As great as the hype was, Punk could not live up to his expectations. AT UFC 203, his entrance lasted for 3 minutes and 49 minutes.

However, his fight lasted for about 2 minutes and 23 seconds. Hall totally owned the star wrestler and gave no rook for him to be in the fight whatsoever. The second city saint got the reality check in the hardest way possible. While speaking with the media after the match, Punk teared up and showed how broken he was after the bout.
