CM Punk signs with the UFC
I posted a rumored link in the 100k thread but he is on the UFC ppv right now being interviewed by Joe Rogan.
Crazy. |
|
Multi fight contract, he said probably 185 or 170 for weight
|
Hopefully they don't feed him to the wolves ala Lesnar. Realistically he will probably get killed, BUT at least bring him in against lower guys. I mean, Lesnar has huge wrestling experience, Punk trains BJJ.
We will see... I am excited, but... cautious. |
Idk what this has to do with WWE so why was it posted here? Belongs in MMA forum.
|
Lol wow. Should be interesting.

<font color=goldenrod>Dana said Punk would be starting against guys with a similar record. Which means he'll be fighting a rookie most likely.</font>
|
Wow. Wonder if he'll be fighting as "CM Punk" or under his real name. Maybe as Phil "CM Punk" Brooks?
Vince can't be happy about this. Maybe this is part of a bigger plan for Punk. Leave WWE, bury them in his wake, make a name for himself in the UFC by winning a few fights, and then score himself a special contract deal in the WWE like Lesnar and Rock, ensuring himself a WrestleMania main event, a lighter schedule, and more hype. It'll be interesting to see if Punk can hold his own inside the octagon. Something tells me he'll probably get his ass kicked. We'll see. One thing's for sure though - that first PPV fight will probably help pull a few more points in the buyrates. |
Good luck to him. I have long since lost interest in the UFC but will tune in to his first few matches.
|
Is he going to cry to Colt Cabana when Dana White doesn't put him in the main event?

Whoever thinks that there is a storyline with Punk thrashing WWE and joining the UFC is retarded.
Face it Punk has moved on WWE ruined there chance with a solid mid level wrestler. Punk will come back in around 5-10 years. |
How well do guys around Punk's age do in UFC and other MMA promotions?
Lesnar had a handful of fights when he was in UFC but was a lot younger than Punk at the time. |
This could be interesting....this could end badly...either way, it will probably draw a bit of money.
|
So I guess he's not really that concerned about his health then, is he?
|
Rousey by Armbar in 20 seconds Ha!
|
I hope he breaks out the Pepsi Plunge
|
hope they feed him a can. I think he probably knows he'll get waxed, but is down for the experience and payday.
|
I will support Punk 100%. Hope he kicks ass in the UFC. Now we get to sit back and watch the haters jump on him for being a "pro wrestler".
|
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but his comments on Lesnar / Batista on the podcast add a bit of context. And so was the timing of the major events within the past few weeks. And though the content was great, all of it was done to get his name back in the press.
Well played Phil "CM Punk" Brooks. Well played. Question: If he does fight as "Phil "CM Punk" Brooks", will he still get offended if a casual fan refers to him as "Phil"? |

Lesnar has been mentioned but he was a world class amateur wrestler before he even started training. |
Excited as fuck to see this! Kinda hope he gets his ass kicked though.
|
He complains that he got stiffed by Ryback and then goes in for this.....

Also, why is it that Bats or Jindrak can go do this with no prob, but Punk will automatically "get his ass kicked"? The myth of size being the be-all end-all of MMA was disproved even back in the "unsanctioned bloodsport" days. He should get the same benefit of the doubt an amateur boxer gets in his first pro fight. In the octagon, Punk is sight unseen so far. Also, Lesnar being mentioned is kind of a given. It would be like if somone tried to become another two-sport athlete; there will automatically be mentions of both Bo Jackson and Deon Sanders. |
I suppose there's no chance that Lesnar and Punk fight each other in the UFC but it'd be hilarious if Lesnar leaves for the UFC. I almost bet Vince would, to the detriment of his company, try to do whatever it would take to keep him from going to the UFC.

Ufc would be smart to book his first fight in Chicago
|
|
well, i'm gonna buy that ppv
|
They should make it a UFC on Fox event for free
|
The most important thing to come from this thread is that Clerk is back.

Batista and Jindrak were fighting fat Polish plumbers on Indy cards, not elite killers in the UFC. Faggut. |
Will pay for fight pass to see Punk get his mouth punched
|
Wonder if he'll be training with CHAEL P SONNEN
|
See so many UFC fans bitching that he's not in it for the long haul, so he's a huge hypocrite for complaining about part timers taking his spot in WWE only to jump to ufc as a part timer to take someone's spot..
|
Interested to see how this goes and how CM Punk will embrace the hype part of UFC. He could easily play the heel aka Brock, but he might not like the outcome.

is ufc where pipers son colt is i would like to see little piper vs punk
|
Its a smart move, Punk will get paid above average for working a handful of shows a year and UFC will get a spike in buyrates even if it's folk hoping to see him get the shit kicked out of him like mofo.
|
|
Lol how desperate is the UFC by the way. They'll probably have Dennis Rodman in a match nrxt month.
|
Hope he gets beat up
|
I hope he gets paralyzed
|
I hope he brings back his straight edge saviour gimmick.
At press conference starts talking about how he can save his opponents if they will only consent to follow his lead.... |
Looks like KrisP owes CM Punk a large favor. MMA forum might have been closed before this happened.

Now the next question.....will he walk out to Cult of Personality, or something else.

|
Dunno, he might be able to hang with a UFC rookie but any name fighter would fucking destroy him, I think.
|
Lol Kris is a loser at life and online. Nerd

SlickyTrickyDamon will think that is funny.

I plan to watch his debut in the hopes that he gets his ass handed to him.
|
Jeez...such a hypocrite.

Stupid response in all honesty. Like already stated, Batista fought some no name guy and then quickly went elsewhere. This is the UFC. Can't help but think he fancies himself as a tough guy and is going to get taught a lesson. All the guys on the roster are "crashing into furntiture", many, like Ryback, were doing it for his benefit. Was a classless move to belittle him on the way out and use people to get attention for this new venture. That is just my opinion, but think he should have valued the people who made him look so good for over a year as champion. If he is not at the appropriate level, one bad UFC loss could do a whole lot more damage to him than wrestling in a WWE ring. He is whiny and entitled and it is the very fact that John Cena works so hard that makes him a much better talent and investment for the company. Punk would have never been a top guy over him because he didn't deserve it, but he complains that being champion for over a year etc... was a failure of a career. Just struck me as really poor form and classless way to go out. |

All the guys in WWE do it, and many people did it for him. He is unappreciative. I am not saying WWE is not harder on the body, it is, but UFC is no cakewalk and he seems prepared to go for it despite his broken body from so many injuries. I live in Brazil and know many MMA fighters and their training schedual is crazy. It's not barbaric, but if his body was so broken, he sinply couldn't do it. He complains about not being the top guy, but how much harder does Cena work than he does, with a far more positive attitude. He didn't deserve the top spot and should stop acting like he did |

I agree with everything you said, except that "one bad loss could be more damaging." of course it could. he could get hit so hard he shits himself and dies. however living in the real world most 50+ wreslters are in much worse shape than MMA fighters. the risk was higher with the fed than with UFC.

I'd wager a lot of what's being said about Punk (specifically the stuff about being a quitter, shitting on the company/guys that made him, hopes that he loses his first mma match) were said about Lesnar when he left. Now the IWC loves the guy. Can't see it being any different for Punk if he makes a success of this. If not; oh well, he lost a fight or two, the disgruntled fans will point and laugh. However Punk will be laughing all the way to the bank, earning a small fortune to add to the wealth he already has. He walks away and does whatever else he feels like doing. Good on him. |
So Punk feels fans will respect him after his UFC showing
I can't wait to see how he does |
Where has he said that?
|
Quote:
I don't want to see him get hurt and don't mind how he does in UFC. I hope he is a happier person, because by his own admission, he was miserable. There was no need to talk people down on his way out though. |
Quote:
Also his little jokes don't seem to go over well just an observation. |
Hope he does well. How can you root against a man that's doing what makes him happy. In all his interviews last night you can see how ecstatic he is.

But there's definitely a section of the wider wrestling fanbase that have spat their proverbial dummy out because his leaving - and subsequent shitting on the company - is a ringing indictment on the business as a whole; a business that they love. I'm not pointing the finger at you, of course. I think in Punk's position - or at least the way he perceived matters - where he had nobody backing him, where members of management didn't value him, he almost had to have that chip on his shoulder; he had to believe in himself when nobody else did. Let's face it; as soon as they loosened the leash on him his stock sky-rocketed, he was one of the most valuable full time guys on the roster. I don't think you can dispute that. |
Jason David Frank (the original Green Power Ranger) has apparently challenged CM Punk for his first fight.
|
I wanted to post that first :(
Wonder if Vince will have him back after he gets his ass kicked by the green ranger? |

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.
|
Del Rio's fights were works in Japan.
|
So is the rest of MMA

Jason david frank has been challenging punk for years lol
|
Punk better watch out. Mr. Frank might cut him with the dragon flute.
|
CM Punk vs David Lee Frank would be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
|
He will fight Jason Thatcher first.
|
If I had to give you an honest guess, it will prolly be against Kron Gracie.
|
How about War Machine? He's used to beating up bitches.
|
|
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.
|
I don't get all the hate, honestly. I hope he does well and surprises many of the naysayers.
|
Koshcek did it for years, Tito too, Punk knows that as does Dana.

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.
