5 Ways in Which CM Punk could win his UFC return fight

UFC 203: Miocic v Overeem
Has the Second City Saint learned from the first outing? Former WWE superstar turned professional mixed martial artist and UFC fighter CM Punk will be having a new lease on life, in terms of his fighting career? Recent reports have claimed that Punk (whose name is Phil Brooks in real life) is scheduled for his second fight against fellow novice Mike "The Truth" Jackson at UFC 225 on June 9th.

Even before it was announced that CM Punk will be heading to the UFC, he has already been actively involved in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Punk began his BJJ journey at the renowned Gracie Academy in Torrance, where he went under the tutelage of Rener and Ryron Gracie.

It is, of course, important to hone each and every facet of martial arts for MMA, but Punk would likely be better off if he focused on honing his grappling and ground submission skills for this fight. Having already been promoted to the rank of blue belt in December, he is definitely more confident in executing the moves now than he ever was as a white belt in his first fight, and that could play a major factor.
