“I want to be fed, feed me CM Punk, please!” Gall screamed after his victory. When the fight ended, Punk walked into the cage, exchanged a few words and joined in a short stare-down.

The question now is: When the fight will take place?

Punk-Gall will likely take place at UFC 199 in June, UFC president Dana White said before Saturday’s card. Gall knows what is going to happen in the fight.

“I respect that dude,” Gall said. “He made himself a superstar. But it’s a big fight for me. I get to beat up a superstar. That’s what I’m going to do.

“I’m going to beat up CM Punk in the first round.”
