Still curious about whether they'll actually try to find someone with some name recognition who won't embarrass him (I have no idea who this could be) or whether he'll just fight some guy no one's heard of.

He'll fight the one guy that fits both categories at the same time, playa: Dan Quinn

This almost seems like an insurmountable problem to me. Theres no one at his level. There's no old, injured person with no experience.

He is training at a top level camp with top level athletes. What makes you think he will be below average when it's all said and done? And do you really think Dana won't give him a title shot one day regardless of how he does? Money talks.

most ufc guys have trained fighting for most of their lives. like a guy who's done muay thai and jiu jutsu for ten years will go 1-2 and get cut. forget the animals who become top level guys, cm punk wouldn't beat a single guy fighting in the ufc right now. they will specifically get an ultra lovely 0-0 45 year old dad who boxed for two weeks when he was 12 for him to fight.

UFC Gym is a thing and I'm sure they can dig up some middle manager who trains once a week to take the fight.

I could give a shit about all that.
Whoever said he gets a championship match because of money is insane.

That said, if he does well (which is a HUGE if), I can absolutely see him getting a crack at someone in the top 10 on a Fox card or as a bonus draw on a stacked show.


And he'll get murdered and become a commentator/analyst if he doesn't have permanent brain damage from it.



I'm actually really interested in that 30 for 30 they are putting together for his debut. That could potentially turn out to be really good.

As everyone has mentioned, CM Punk is not fighting anyone who has a bunch of pro wins because no proper commission in the world (:laffo:) would sanction the fight, but for the sake of the pro wrestling posters, the people talking about him getting a title shot "because of the money" or whatever (joking or not), this is the current champion on the left:



This is his opponent after Lawler finished him

That's him spraying blood at the end of the round and stalking down an equally unemotional serial killer looking motherfucker. He's probably the last person in the UFC I'd want to be locked in a cage with (although they'd all kick my rear end, he's just a dude who is violence personified). I sure as poo poo don't want to see him fight Phil Brooks. Punk will fight a guy who's also making his UFC debut, or maybe has a fight in the promotion under his belt, imo.

Their faces are flat. :stonk:

Rogan had dick for experience and from what I can tell Punk is as much of a superfan as he was back in the day. Plus he did a decent run as a commentator in WWE when he had hip problems, so he already knows the ins and outs of how a broadcast is run. I'd put way more money on him making it as a commentator or broadcaster than as a fighter.

Pretty much, although I'd put 0 money on him making it as a fighter even though I'm optimistic he could beat an actual bum.

Rogan didn't even start training BJJ until 96 and took over color commentary in 2002. So roughly 6 years? Punk will have about half that by the time they tap him for commentary, and he's already well versed as a broadcaster, which Rogan wasn't.

Rogan was the host of Fear Factor, done a 5 year run on News Radio, and was an active standup comedian for quite a while.

And, you know, he actually did things in a sport unlike Punk.

He was competing in taekwondo since he was in like high school, his credentials are so hilariously stacked compared to CM Punk's that this is laughable.

On one hand: Years of taekwondo, serious jiu-jitsu training, and some judo

On the other: Hangs out with a gracie, commentated fake wrestling

Just because BJJ is the only thing Punk knows doesn't mean it's the only thing that exists

He's been doing taekwondo at a high level since he was a child and made the switch from doing that professionally to comedy because there wasn't a lot of money in it, not due to a lack of skill
