Mickey Gall only had one fight before Punk. The 'not for beginners' argument has already failed.

Ite wasn't just that Punk was a beginner though... it's that Punk simply isn't a legit athlete and had no actual talent for fighting.
You could take an ameteure wrestler or even an amateur basketball or football player, give them the same amount of training as Punk, and they would likey do much better. Punk is literally a fan out of the crowd with no athletic background whatsoever, and it showed.
Except he is an athlete. It takes being an athlete to work in pro wrestling and not get gassed minutes in. Punk may never looked like he hit weights etc but its clear he did work out and keep himself in shape to work in pro wrestling. Its like telling AJ Styles he's not an athlete even though he's out there most nights working matches and performing best he can in ring.
Punk just waited way too long for MMA and by the time he did his age and body was working against him.

Punk was also pushing 40 and had had numerous injuries from his wrestling career. So he probably wasn't in his physical prime anyway, especially when facing a guy almost 15 years younger than him.
I have to comment on the WWE commentators.
You can't give some random dude the Raw color commentating role.
I get wanting to have a non white male for the role. But I listen to Dio, and he had nothing.
Guys like
Mark Henry.
Dvon Dudley
MVP
Elijah Burke
Chavo Guerrero
And so on, would have been much better picks.
If I had my way it would be
Phillips,JBL , and Mark Henryon Smackdown.JBL has FOX ties.
Joseph ,Graves, and Saxton on Raw.
Let Cole do sit-down interviews.
Let Paige have a talk show segment instead of Miz.
