Did CM Punk win vs Mike Jackson?

CM PUNK's return to the octagon ended in a defeat as he was outclassed by Mike Jackson - despite making it through three rounds.

Punk secured his first ever UFC takedown in an even first round and had the support of a capacity crowd behind him.

But in the second his lack of experience and technique was exploited by Jackson, who dominated in hold and landed heavy blows to his face.

Clearly exhausted in the third, Jackson took pity on the WWE star and refused to pile in, stepping back and letting Punk get off the canvas.

The judges scored the fight unanimously 30-26, 30-26, 30-26 in favour of Jackson, who takes his first UFC win.
