Official UFC 225 poster released, and CM Punk vs. Mike Jackson is featured

Bloodyelbow.com

We’re less than two months away from UFC 225 in Chicago, and it’s a ridiculously stacked card (for now). Robert Whittaker defends his middleweight title against Yoel Romero in the night’s main event, while Rafael dos Anjos battles Colby Covington for the interim welterweight title.

Of interest for fans in Chicago is one of their own, as ex-WWE star CM Punk faces Mike Jackson on what will obviously be a main card fight, as you can see on this poster.

CM Punk’s UFC debut occurred at UFC 203 in September 2016, and that pay-per-view drew an estimated 450,000 buys. After a one-sided loss to Mickey Gall, we’ll see if the second fight garners any widespread interest for CM Punk.

UFC 225 takes place on Saturday, June 9th at the United Center. Other top fights includeAndrei Arlovski vs. Tai Tuivasa, Mirsad Bektic vs. Ricardo Lamas, Holly Holm vs. Megan Anderson, and Sergio Pettis vs. Joseph Benavidez.
