ITT We discuss CM Punk

[*ShaGGs*]

Anyone know what skill set he has. He must have something otherwise they would have (hopefully) let him go the way of Batista and Sean O'haire.

[scooterbrah]

trains with some gracies every few months


i dont think he will move the needle as much as lesnar but hes a nice well spoken dude and is popular.

[HoganIsGOAT]

He has a background in kenpo. He's done Brazilian jiu-jitsu off and on for a very long time (though he's remained a white belt, refusing all belt promotions).

He also has a very big following. This will give UFC a big boost.

[MufasaBrah]

UFC's Logic, lets get a guys who doesn't know what weight class he will be in to fight in the ufc.
Meanwhile

[DATNEWNEWNEW]

The UFC got word that Bellator was interested in signing him, and it was simply too much money to leave on the table for an opposing organization. It's possible that he doesn't even end up fighting. He's a green belt in taekwando

[mp83]

Stupid. He doesn't even know what weight class he will fight in and has never even fought. Even Lesnar fought once before the UFC (and had an extensive collegiate wrestling background)

He is going to get killed even if he cuts to Welterweight. He should be able to make it, too. He carries quite a bit of bodyfat at 218 lb (and is 6'1).

[Craiz]

He doesn't want belt promotions because its a copout. This way he never has to say where he stands with experience. Smart but shady. He can be hyped now to be anything.

[Boffothe]

I don't see how this is even going to get sanctioned in a real commission state

[CCAurora]

lol @ people assuming he's not trained enough. How would anyone here know the extent of his training?

[mp83]

He has never even had a fight and was pretty busy with WWE stuff to have trained at the level that guys in the UFC do. Guys in the UFC train, literally, 6 hours a day for 5-6 days a week.

Hell, he may not even have the right mindset. Lesnar is far different, as he trained for a year before he debuted, had an elite amateur wrestling background and also had a fight before he had his debut.

We're going off what both punk himself and the gracie boys say about his training, but I guess they've been working us and he's ufc-caliber. Swerrrrrrve

[CCAurora]

We're going off a 2-minute interview from three hours ago

Fixed

[chucksmanhood]

War Punk, cant wait for him to rustle some serious MMA mark jimmies and hold UFC gold for a record no of days just as he did in the WWE.

In Punk We Trust.

[BGM992]

this that what dana wants

[imweasel]

I feel like he got signed because he brings in a lot of eyes, and judging from interviews with him I really doubt he asked for what he's worth promotionally. Not saying he's walking making 8 and 8, but I've got the feeling he's purely in it for the need to do something. Won't be champ, probably not top ten, and probably has a run similar to Herschel Walker in strikeforce.

[MinisterOfLust]

Oh wow, I am still cautious of discussing CM Punk on this MMA section.

[John L]

Thank god CM Punk is proven enough to compete in the UFC unlike that amateur Askren. Amirite Dana?

Calm the fukk down mark.

[RScary15]

Hey if cm punk comes in and cracks the top ten (which i doubt) then what will it say about the wwe guys.

Mma fighters can't resort to the whole they do fake fighting crap anymore.

I hope cm punk proves me wrong and does decent in the ufc.

itll be good for business

[ShadowSneak]

Brock at least had some fight experience and was NCAA champ. Not to mention was incredibly athletic and entered into a very weak division. Welterweight and Middleweight has a lot of talent so Punk doesn't stand a chance. Might as well send over the Trish Stratus to fight Ronda Rousey.

Take it easy there big boy.

Can`t wait to see what all the WWE haters have to say when Punk goes to the top of the octagon, hits his opponent with a big elbow drop, picks the dude up, hits him with a big old GTS (That`s Go To Sleep for those unaware) and then put his opponent in the Anaconda Vice for the tap-out.

WWF hasn't existed for nearly 13 years now. Brock was a WWF ******* who ended up being the biggest UFC draw ever. Wrestling is the most dangerous sport.

[DidNotReadL0L]

who the hell is cmpunk? couldn't they spring for an a list wwe guy like Cena?
