Wrestling superstar turned mixed martial artist CM Punk weighed in at 170 pounds on the dot Friday morning ahead of his UFC debut, according to multiple reports.

Only a week ago, Punk said he weighed 200 pounds and wasn't looking forward to cutting.

He made it, but questions will linger about the effect cutting weight for the first time before a fight may have on Punk's energy and stamina.

Punk appeared thinner than he ever was in the WWE and perhaps even gaunt at the UFC 203 press conference Thursday:

Punk is set to fight Mickey Gall in a welterweight division bout Saturday in Cleveland.
