Former WWE Champion CM Punk spoke with Carrlyn Bathe of FOX Sports this weekend while in Los Angeles for the NHL All-Star game and said he's been in talks with UFC President Dana White about a return to the Octagon.

Punk made his MMA debut at UFC 203 in Cleveland last September but was quickly defeated by Mickey Gall with a submission in the first round. Punk says he's been giving potential names and dates to White in hopes of landing a second fight with UFC. Punk said:

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>"I am working on it feverishly. I'm throwing names at Dana (White), opponents, dates. I don't know if he's waiting for a Chicago show or what the deal is but if it doesn't happen in the UFC, it will happen somewhere else. I'm dedicated to fighting and training. We'll get there."[/quote]
