I am not arguing that point at all. No, it shouldn't have been a UFC fight, that's not my point. He did alright, not good, just alright, against a guy who himself isn't good.
No, it is not UFC level of skill, yes this is the kind of fight that should take place in a regional MMA card, but take all outside factors and considerations away, just CM Punk vs Mike Jackson, he did alright. He lost, he should not be considered a skilled fighter in any way. I am only saying that he showed was good enough to compete against Mike Jackson, even if he lost, he at least competed this time.
Last time he just got beat up, it wasn't a fight, this time he was in a fight. He landed punches and kicks, he got a takedown, he even attempted a few submission moves, poorly attempted sure, but Jackson had to defend against them.
