There are essentially two camps that fighters fall into when it comes to CM Punk and his debut defeat to Mickey Gall.
They were torn between 'serves him right for taking our profession so lightly' and 'fair play to him for following his dreams'.
And reigning UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, in spite of all his trash-talk of WWE superstars, falls into the latter category.
