CM Punk says he is 30lbs past the weight limit for his UFC fight and post fight reactions
 

Part of me wonders if he is joking...the other part of me knows he isn't known for his sense of humor...

Hate to say it but I just can't see him making it.

Probably ate at several all-you-can-eat buffets to gain enough weight that he wouldn't be able to compete.

Has he borrowed Eva Marie's gimmick?

This is getting comical.

I don't know shit about UFC, but this sounds fake.

Insert WWE ice cream bar joke.

I don't know shit about That staged ufc shit..... if he doesn't make it to 170 does that mean he can't compete?

Kris P said he was being a smart-ass

I think Gall can decide whether to take the fight or not. He probably will. Problem is, if Punk does then win, it'll forever be tarnished by the fact that he had at least 30lbs on Gall.

I doubt it's 30lbs. of muscle.

Punk made weight

Yeah! Woo! Damn Punk looked fucking lean at that weigh-in. And super fired up. Win, lose or draw, I am so fucking hyped to see this. Gonna be awesome seeing Punk step into the octagon.

(What was up with not shaking Gall's hand though?)

Dunno if it's legit, but from http://www.cagesideseats.com/2016/9/...c-203-weigh-in

Pulling for Punk, though I realize it's unlikely. Just like with Brock, I want the rassler to win.

Win or lose Punk wins when the bell rings. This is going to be epic.

I expect he'll be submitted in the first round, but if he gets past the first round and actually puts up a fight, i'll be very impressed. I'll be watching for sure.

He absolutely looks like he's been putting in the work, so im interested to see what happens.

I'm rooting for Punk simply coz, in many ways, he's representing WWE. You can just tell that everyone in the MMA community is against this "entertainer" who thinks he can hang in the octagon, so I wanna see him hang in the octagon! Even if he loses, as long as he manages to put up a good fight and earn peoples respect that'd be awesome.

Punk is brilliant. He's leaked that he had to make this super-fast weight cut, which gives him that "excuse" if he loses. Not shaking Gall's hand? The dude is just being a heel.

The guy's made his money in wrestling. He and Dana know that they can probably get two draws out of him even if he loses, and Punk knows that wrestling will take him back regardless of the outcome. But he doesn't need to go back, so it doesn't matter if he gets destroyed. Everything is entirely on his terms. The guy really has life by the balls.

I'm not entirely convinced that whole overweight thing is legit. Is there actually an audio/video recording of Punk saying he was overweight? Losing over 30lbs in a week does seem quite a lot. I'm not expert on weightloss mind you, but to go from over 200lbs to the exact weight required is quite a big difference.

Even if it's true and he uses it as an "excuse" doesn't really phase me. I just wanna see him fight!

So the biggest crying faggot in wrestling is now a huge crying faggot in ufc.

Dana trying to keep from hysterically laughing ha!

I don't care if he wins or loses I just wanna see his face get broken.

Hyped for this. I believe Mickey has a giant head from all of this, and during the VLOGS that UFC does, all he's been doing is talking shit about first round knock out/Imma' beat him for us (when he was talking to Overeem) and send him back....

All the pressure is on the kid, if he loses then he loses to a "fake wrestler" or "celebrity" and where does HIS career go after that?

Everything as I see it is in Punk's favor, everything to gain, nothing to lose.

Can't find the original.

That met expectations.

Meh at least he didn't turtle up like I was expecting. Tough guy, but it was essentially a complete recreational amateur in a year and a half fantasy camp against a professional fighter.

He should've fought the Green Ranger.

Takes balls to do what he did. No one ever going to call it smart though.

What a Bitch actual tears Ha!

Time is not on his side. What Rogan said is spot on, this is what happens when a brown belt roles around with a white belt. He looked light years away from what is needed, completely overwhelmed.

He should chalk it up to a fun experience and walk away.

Honestly, without hyperbole, it would be bordering on irresponsible to let him fight again. It probably shouldn't have happened the first time, but money talks...

Indeed it does. I give him credit for getting in there. He didn't have to. He could've just sat on ass selling t shirts with his name on it making piles of money.

Instead he went out and got himself into great shape and stepped into a fight with a guy he had no business accepting a fight with.

Did they ever say why they went with Gall instead of someone more of Punk's experience?

Love all the CM Punk haters on here, making fun of Punk for doing something they wouldn't have the balls to try.

I don't particularly like the guy, but christ how petty can you be?

You should be banned for this.

He definitely deserves credit for getting in there. He really had no chance in hell of winning but at least he knocked a huge item off of the bucket list.

"They wouldn't have the balls to try"

Yeah you call it balls I'll call it brains. 37 and climbing isnt the time for your first dash into sports of any kind, least of all when you've been unathletic your whole life.

I wouldn't call myself a hater, but it's as if a famous actor at a decent age in good shape (say Channing Tatum or zac efron) wakes up and decides to go to training camp to be a professional fighter.

Instead of starting at small promotions and working their way into professional fights, they are given a UFC fight based on their celebrity alone.

It is exactly the same thing.

Couple that totally unfounded preferential treatment with how salty and bitter he can sound about things, it is easy to see why "haters" have arose.

Good on him for trying, a lot of heart and dedication, but he shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Which still begs the question of why you feel the need to criticize him for it? He didn't have to put in the work and get in there to fight.

Whether you call it balls, brains, guts, courage, whatever. The guy CHOSE to do it because he wanted to and put in the work to do it. He didn't have to. The majority of us are not successful enough in life on our own hard work and merit to retire in our mid 30s and venture out to something else. I can't get the hate.

I think it's hilarious to deem Punk unathletic. He was a pro wrestler. A rather good one. Maybe he wasn't light on his feet, or doing moonsaults, but to say he's unathletic is hilarious.

Yes, being an actor and pro wrestler are the same exact thing.
