cams posted:i disagree and i think it's super cool when people who have had at least a dozen concussions and a fractured skull are allowed to compete in professional mixed martial arts for the first time at 39 years old. UFC is going to cause a man to die for their profits, and is worse than Bellator. It's rad.

That was probably filmed early in his training Which is horrifying because it means one of his best things for the trailer was from a year ago

He can probably do a handful of mma things better now than he could in 2014.

MMA fights are supposed to get called off when one fighter "cannot intelligently defend himself", right? Then why would they let the fight start?

Maybe after the second time they drilled chokes he realized how much it sucks having a long beard while training jiu jitsu.

I've been an embarrassingly big Punk fan for over a decade, but he's so hideously outmatched here that it's just kinda laughable and sad. Obviously Punk -could- shock the world and get a surprise KO or something, but personally I find it hard to get excited for something that looks like this much of a foregone conclusion.

I understand why MMA fans don't give a poo poo, but for wrestling fans, this is going deliver Wrestlemania in your youth levels of excitement. Its not really that hard to predict, CM punk will probably get clipped by a punch that doesnt look that hard and go down and get TKOd, or he will get taken down and outgrappled and then TKOd. Nothing against him but its super unlikely hes gonna come out and surprise everyone by doing something really good But the odds only have him as roughly a 3 to 1 underdog, so the betting public at least thinks he has like a 25% chance of winning, which i think is generous but hey who knows

Also that we have a little less than a month to go and Punk could easily be injured in that amount of time. Or Gall even.

i would think that the money comes from wrestling fans and people who think the fix is in, hence the weirdly good odds for punk. e: that is to say, betting odds for crowd darlings are always deflated because there's so much money coming in usually, so in case there's an upset, the betting company doesn't want to risk paying for everybody's wrestlemania next year.

Instead we get a gif of him throwing what looks to be working punches.
