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.

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.
