There’s no place for CM Punk to go from here but back to training and the drawing board after his UFC 203 loss to Mickey Gall.

While some believe that was it as far as an MMA career goes for the former WWE superstar, Punk – who’s real name is Phil Brooks – still believes the best is yet to come.

“It was the time of my life. I feel I’m better than I showed,” Punk said. “Hats off to Mickey. He’s an up-and-comer. I’ve got some things to remember this from.”

After signing with the UFC after leaving the WWE, many questioned if Punk would even get inside the Octagon. He worked with Roufusport and Duke Roufus ahead of the debut, but was quickly taken down by Gall and finished two minutes later.

While his next fight remains a mystery, Punk said one thing is for sure in his future.

“There’s a lot of food in my future,” he said. “I’ll take a little vacation from the gym which means that I’ll probably be back in there on Tuesday. I want to do better.”
