It appears that Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White confirmed a horribly-kept secret to TMZ Thursday in Brooklyn.

It has been rumored for months that Phil Brooks, better known to most as CM Punk, will make his sophomore Octagon appearance against Mike Jackson at UFC 225 on June 9 in Chicago.

The former WWE superstar, Brooks, 39, was smoked by Mickey Gall in his lone mixed martial arts fight at UFC 203 in September 2016.
