Every report I'm seeing is just that he's attending an event and Dana would be interested in signing him up for a fight, in theory.

I could see him as an analyst or commentator, but gently caress man just fight a z-league can like Bautista if you want to get in the octagon.

Now watch as CM Punk just destroys every single person they put in his way, and he becomes the most dominant fighter they've ever had. Until Ronda Rousey beats him in 20 seconds with an arm bar.

I really expected him to do a Metamoris, like 100% expected that he would do one in the future. But the UFC? At 37, and with his injuries and no training besides rolling with Rener? Didn't expect that.

He's going to have the worst fight against one of the shittiest fighters that the UFC has seen since the early tournament days.

From what I understand, even the worst fighter in the UFC is a major asskicker and an MMA veteran.

So against someone whos 36 years old with no MMA credentials to his name and a history of injuries...not a very good idea at all

You know the UFC is a shoot right? It's not a work.

I can't even think of a reasonable catchweight for those two.

If you want a vision of the future...
CM Punk isn't competing in MMA guys. He might be talking to them to do some kind of promotion or commentary thing but he's literally years of combat sports training away from even doing local amateur-level fights.

Because it would be funny. And I know it's completely implausible, hence it being a dream scenario. My idea of Punk losing to Rousey is probably more likely.

As I understand it he basically MMA trains for fun in whatever offtime he's had for the past 10ish years, so its not like he's going in completely blind. Just 99% blind.

God its going to be a bloodbath.
