What do we actually know about his smoker fights? I only heard of one like a year ago and I thought he won.

Although winning a smoker is about as prestigious as...gently caress all

They'll have Jericho beat Mickey Gall in a match just because they can't fire Punk twice.

Smokers are unofficial things where your gym brings in people to spar hard with you like an actual fight, oftentimes while a bunch of people crowd around the cage to cheer on and some people judge the fight in the event it should go to a decision. The idea is it helps you get a feel of where you are at on a competitive level and helps you understand what it's like to be in an actual fight, if you haven't yet. I don't know how effective they are at accomplishing these goals and hard sparring often has very bad consequences in terms of unnecessary damage and risk of injury, but that's what they are and it probably is not a great sign he's 1/20, and it's also probably bad that he's had in the neighborhood of 20 at a gym like Roufusport that is already known for going too hard and having a gym bully problem.

So he gets to hang around in the gym all day, collect free healthcare and have fake fights with his buddies in front of a crowd of screaming people? I can't imagine he ever wants to actually fight, he must be having the time of his life. It's like kids space camp but for MMA-loving ex-pro wrestlers.

Minus the part where he's reportedly losing fights and getting the poo poo kicked out of him roughly 95% of the time, sure I guess

He's probably getting beat up a lot more training at Roufusport than he would if he just took a fight and then trained at a non-idiot gym.

Absolutely. Talking to some of my friends who still train there, it sounds like they've actually gotten worse in recent years and take it as a sign of weakness if you're not willing to hunt for knockouts in hard sparring sessions.

Despite what you'd be inclined to think, many people in punchsports aren't big fans of being punched

Even Brock has basically said multiple times being punched isn't fun

Well yeah most people dont enjoy the exact moment that theyre being punched, but all the stuff surrounding that is fun which is why people do it as a hobby (i.e. "for free")

but lol "even Brock", a guy who never did striking most of his life and notably reacts badly to being hit

Anyway i dont know anything about CM punk but the fact that he decided to do a bizarre MMA fantasy camp instead of getting a real job or doing literally anything else means a) he probably doesnt need the money that badly and b) he probably thinks its fun

That wasn't what was originally being argued, I agree with that but he was specifically responding to "getting hit in head for free is not fun"

Audience isn't being hit in head, they're watching it. Difference.
