I have very very limited experience with MMA but it seems like you have to be a really, really good fighter to get into UFC. It seems like even their 1-0 guys are going to have extensive amateur backgrounds and if you don't you end up in Bellator. Is this accurate?

Punk is my favorite wrestler off all time and I want to see him do well but boy howdy is he going to be turned into a fine pink mist.

I got into MMA because of Brock. Went to sports bars to watch his fights, had to deal with mouth-breathers wearing Affliction shirts who pissed all over the bathroom and had all the manners you would expect from inbreds.

Brock stopped fighting, I stopped caring about MMA.

I'm assuming Punk's run will be the same for myself and other wrestling fans.

I'd rather see CM Punk get out of shape and love retirement than get his face rearranged by TUF washouts. I mean, can we keep a little legitimacy in the UFC?

I know I know, our gay sport. Such great heights. All that business.

Cant wait to see Vince offer a WWE contract to the first guy who beats Punk and pushes him to the moon. In fact, watch this be an elaborate plan by Punk to get a friend signed into the WWE! You almost got away with it Punk! Yes that was a joke.

It strikes me that as soon as the third guy comes out it stops being a fight and more a mini riot.

Yuriy posted:

I genuinely hope for a pure Fitching for Punk's debut, just relentless Fitchery

I want there to be a glimmer of hope as Punk scrambles and escapes only to get instantly doubled back down

I want to see the light fade from his eyes as he realizes he done hosed up and I want to be here to watch wrestle-posters realize that CM Punk is a 36 year old washed up whiny wrestler who never main evented a Wrestlemania or won a fight



Anyway the reason why this fight will own is because Randy Orton will interfere and do a surprise RKO while the refs aren't looking.

Could be only 2 guys out at a time with a 3 minutes time limit then there's a short judging period if neither of them gets KO'd.
