There is a lot more to being the top guy than being good in the ring. Probably controversial, but he wasn't one of a kind or that special imo. Bryan was better by the time he left and guys like Rollins and Ambrose were putting on quality matches every night by that stage. He wasn't irreplaceable and certainly wasn't far and away the best in ring guy. I think he wanted to feel special and thought he was better than he was. He was very good, but he wasn't a great. All just conjecture and opinion though, and I can see where you are coming from. |

reading that ADR might sign with Bellator.... why wouldn't UFC be interested in Del Rio? He's at least fought professionally.

Really find it amusing people will order a fight, basically paying someone they don't like, to see if they get beat up. This of course only applies to people who are or have stated they are going to pay to see him fight in hopes he gets knocked out.

Meh. Won't watch. I can't get into MMA. I don't like meatheads. WWE is at least full of meatheads who are willing to parody themselves and be somewhat entertaining. MMA is the same "ILL KICK YOUR ASS" "NO ILL KICK YOUR ASS" over and over and over again.
Vince should sign the green power ranger. |

This is good news for UFC, bad news for WWE. WWE really dropped the balls with CM Punk by not making him the face of the company and constantly putting other people in front of him. Punk is a one in million success story of a guy rising from dirt, and I think he will do awesome in the UFC. Cant wait to see Punk put the Anaconda vice on someone in the octagon!
UFC is definitely the winner here. |

Had a dream where Punk, Brock, Jeff Hardy and HHH went to the UFC.... Jeff gave a pre-taped promo in my dream and he seemed quite high, was also wearing mascara and glitter.

I wonder if CM Punk will use that name in UFC or if he will be "Phil "The Punk" Brooks" or something cause I don't think WWE owns the name CM Punk.

Punk is nuts if he accepts the Green Ranger's challenge. The fucker just plays his flute and summons the Dragonzord whenever he starts losing.

Josh Gross of Sports Illustrated supposedly has the terms of Punk's contract:
$500,000 base pay per fight 5% of all PPV revenue Minimum of 2 fights in 2015 That's not even factoring in sponsorships. Punk is getting PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID. |

No. Most people watch the UFC or boxing because they like the sport (Is UFC a sport? Eh whatever). Yes in theory they want a person to get knocked out because they are rooting for the other person. But we have people who have not watched the UFC that will be watching it in hopes of someone (Punk) getting his ass kicked.

Show me were guys like Anderson Silva, GSP, Machida, and countless others act like this. It'd be like an MMA fan saying all pro wrestlers are pilled out, roided up, alcoholic, failed actors, when that stereotype only covers a small section of the group being discussed.

Kimbo is a heavyweight and Punk said he would fight at 185 or 170. |

At 6'2, Punk would probably fit in better at 185. 170 might be too harsh of a cut
