>>6614914They tried to feed him a semi competent rookie to make it look at least somewhat legitimate and UFC worthy (Dana likes to try to maintain the image of the big leagues), and not just a total bum fight, but it was still too much for Punk. Then in his 2nd fight they gave him photographer Michael Jackson, a total shitter, the 2nd worst fighter in UFC history besides Punk probably (Jackson lost to Mickey Gall even faster than Punk), and he still got humiliated. They already lowered their standards enough, the only remaining option was to give him a literal civilian off the street
