To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am'.

When someone asks you, 'What's punk?' my reply is, 'If you have to ask, you're never going to know.'

Obviously, CM Punk is a really big draw for the UFC. He's going to bring a lot of eyes to the UFC, and the better he does, the better it'll be for all MMA fighters as far as sponsorships and stuff.

I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.

I do believe, whenever this is all said and done, we won't talk about Mickey Gall, the guy that beat CM Punk; we'll just talk about Mickey Gall, the guy who is a top 10 fighter, a good welterweight or maybe a great welterweight.

What was punk all about? To me, it was if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it.

That's something - you laugh about Eminem... It's funny, man, because I didn't like him when he first came out, ya know. It seemed like a big joke. But I think the guy's for real, and I like his lyrics!

People perceive punk rock in the sense of Sid Vicious, all strung-out, crazy and insane.

It's very cliched to go, 'You're not punk.' We don't care if we are, and we don't care if we aren't.

Punk is not dead. Punk will only die when corporations can exploit and mass produce it.
