Dana White caught a lot of flack when he let 35 year old former pro wrestler Phil CM Punk Brooks debut in the octagon. Of course Brooks promptly lost to a bjj brown belt Mickey Gall within 2 minutes of the fight start.
Dana White is ready to give him another shot reportedly:
“I like that guy. He’s a good dude,” White said. “He wants one more. He wants to get another shot. I’m going to give it to him.”
“He’s a completely different case than most normal human beings, so I’m going to give him another shot,” White said.
White noted that there’s no opponent lined up yet for Punk.
Brooks got his blue belt in December
