Jim Norton talks about the many obstacles that have kept pushing this fight to the back-burner and asks if there was ever a time when Punk was worried that the fight wasn't going to take place.

He responds that there was definitely a time when worry started to creep into his head, but he tried to stay positive. He doesn't like dwelling on the negative, but the back surgery thing "f**king sucked" and he couldn't do anything for weeks other than ride a stationary bike three times a day to try and rehab it.

Punk says he never truly thought it was over and that he wouldn't make it to a fight; he just tried to stay positive and keep working his way toward it.
