When Punk gets knocked out does he come crawling back to wrestling, or does he sulk for the rest of his life like Ronda

lol. the first time i ever cut weight for a fight while training at duke roufus (which was my first fight ever and first time cutting weight), i had to cut 30 pounds to make 265 (i was fat back then) and the amateur coach was all "nah, don't do a test cut, you look like you'll do fine you look like youll drop weight easily." it was amature so same-day weigh-ins. i had to rehydrate in like 2 hours and gassed about 2 minutes into the thing. i barely won with a hail mary sub because my opponent was even fatter and a short dude and i just kinda plowed him into the fence and went for the flying triangle, which he was too gassed and inflexible to escape.

so ya, i absolutely believe they wouldnt have him do a test cut.

I dunno why people assume Punk is doing this poo poo because he NEEDS it as in so much as he's ticking off an item from his bucket list that he got UFC to pay him for. If he loses, he goes back to watching hockey, training BJJ and writing comics. :shrug:

Mostly because he seems like he's so full of himself that he NEEDS to be doing something at a high level at all times or he'd go nuts. I've always gotten the impression that he's never going to be wholly satisfied with just chilling out and retiring on his mountain of cash. Once this disaster falls apart, he'll be right on to something else. I'm guessing it won't ever be wrestling again, but I could see him trying to get into acting or TV work. Something to keep him from sitting still.

At least Ryback believes in him

quote:

From a basic human being standpoint, he is showing courage doing something the majority of people on this planet will never do and that is step in a cage and fight in front of millions of people. I respect he wants to test himself and has the courage to do so. For that reason alone, while I don’t condone him saying the things he said about me, I want to him do well. Any man can beat another man on any given night, so I just hope he achieves what he is looking for in this and I will leave it at that.

I can see that, but on the other hand I feel like anything he does from now on is for his own satisfaction so the whole "punk's gonna break down and crawl back to wrestling after losing" thing doesn't make sense to me. He has some other poo poo going on and as you pointed out, he could do acting or commentary if he wanted to - hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he was angling for that eventually.

I am having a hard time believing that Punk is this bad and out of his league. I am starting to think that the documentary, the sparring sessions and interviews is just an elaborate plan to give Gall the false impression that he will dominate the fight. I'm kind of thinking Punk is going to come out as a beast and was faking is out the whole time.

man I sure hope this is true for Punk's sake because if he gets in the cage and drops his right hand like that every time he sticks out a jab then this will happen to him

When the weight cut came up on the media call, Gall said he was looking forward to getting 20% of CM Punk's purse so I think he plans on accepting the fight even if Punk misses weight, because he knows he's going to win regardless of the weight and Punk's payout is likely to be pretty good

E: Also I remember when he first signed he was asked what weight class he would be fighting in and he said either middleweight or welterweight depending on how the test cuts go, and then he never did a test cut

Thatd be the best possible thing for Gall, the 20% cut would be more than his entire purse im guessing

I figure after Punk loses they'll have him fight that Mike Jackson guy who apparently is still under contract with the UFC after his Gall fight.
