CM Punk Confirms His UFC Return?
It looks like former WWE Champion CM Punk has confirmed his return to the UFC's Octagon.
Punk indicated on Twitter today that his second MMA fight will take place in his hometown of Chicago on Saturday, June 9th at UFC 225. No word yet on Punk's opponent but it was reported a few weeks ago that Punk may be facing Mike Jackson, who also has a record of 0-1.
