Lol. There is literally zero chance his first fight is against GSP. I don't give a poo poo who reported it.

Uh, I don't think this was a good idea on his part. UFC can't really put nobodies against him without it looking bad on their part, and a 36 year-old without fighting experience doesn't inspire much confidence.

No chance in hell that CM Punk and GSP end up fighting. A legitimate fighter vs a guy who wants to try out MMA. I hope the best for Punk. I outgrew wrestling, but he seemed pretty entertaining. But any matchup with a legitimate fighter will end horribly. I'm thinking an ending like the previously mentioned Bart Gunn vs Butterbean (not that Butterbean is necessarily legitimate)

The level to which people think Punk has no idea how to fight another human being is pretty funny.

Are you suggesting he's not going to try to open up with the collar and elbow

I'm finding it hard to believe Punk didn't think his podcast would blow up the internet a week before this announcement. CM Punk for Promoter of the Year

Front Row Brian believes this was the big November 17th announcement but it was postponed. It's possible he wanted it delayed until after his podcasts so he could close the WWE chapter first.

cams posted:The level to which people think Punk has no idea how to fight another human being is pretty funny. it isn't like giving Shaq a fight, but even a lowly ranked UFC fighter is way more conditioned for an MMA match than Punk at this point. It's gonna be a handpicked opponent from nowhere.

So UFC guys, what was the most one-sided assbeating in history and does Punk have any potential to get assbeaten on that level?

CM Punk is gonna get Bart Gunn'd by some schlub who's had three fights at a warehouse in Montana. He'll get wrecked so badly that he'll never pass a WWE physical again. TNA won't care and will sign him so he and Kurt Angle can have a Last Man Standing match. They won't realize until too late that the stipulation is a shoot and the loser will literally spend the rest of their life in a wheelchair. The end.

UFC 2 tournament alternate Fred Ettich lying and weeping on the ground while big Johnny Rhodes figured out ground and pound on him was the greatest UFC rear end kicking I have ever seen. Punk won't get beaten that bad. They're stopping fights now.

Punk is at least as qualified a fighter as Herschel Walker was, I have no doubt Joe Silva can find a Greg "Nudge" Nagy for him to fight.

While I don't think this is likely the best move for his health I don't really get people acting like he's basically committing suicide compared to going back to wrestling where when he inevitably also gets a concussion the match doesn't stop. I would wager on his first couple matches being TUF losing grapplers
