The worst part of this news is that were going to have to see wrassle posters talking about mma again while not knowing poo poo about poo poo

I eagerly await exciting topics like Meng, whether someone is a real shooter, and who is a "legit tough guy"

Yuriy, you're going to need to embrace this as something absolutely magical.

CM Punk is going to be the reverse Lesnar. There is going to be a hope, deep in the back of everyone's minds that Punk is going to pull it off and become dominant in MMA despite every single indicator being that the deck is heavily stacked against him. We're already getting people making spurious claims and rationalizing it, thinking that Punk is going to do well. And then something like this is gonna happen.

Like, yeah, maybe Punk will win a match against a blindfolded Nick Ring or something. But this is gonna be a tragic comedy and it's gonna be great.

Enjoy it, hahaha.

Ya but if I wanted to watch a loving idiot try to rationalize and make excuses for someone who isn't even particularly good at fighting, I'd dig up the old Socrates/Fedor posts

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

Punk is an incredibly driven individual and I think he has a decent chance of defeating another UFC rookie. But even if he doesn't, it's not gonna be a big deal, other than his next fight won't be as much of a draw. He's doing this for fun anyway, and is a writer for Marvel now.

I think all the remarks that Punk is gonna get literally murdered is comin' from people that are just upset deep down that this nigh-clenches the fact he's never returning to the WWE.

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.

Anyone laughing at and wishing ill upon elderly, worn-out stage fighter cm punk for following his (alleged, huge guaranteed payday) dream and becoming an actual fighter are basically the bad guys in a disney channel sports movie and I'm not sure how you could live with yourself in that case.

Actually Punk is the bad guy because he's taken a slot and money that should be going to up & comer Ben Askren with 0 credibility or any reasoning other than "he's kinda famous!!!"

Well, maybe they should have taken the money they're spending on a guy who has never fought before and has no skill set to speak of and use it to pay Ben enough to get him to come to the UFC instead of beating up asians for six figure paydays

I know you've hated Punk for years and it's fair to dislike the fact that a beat up pro wrestler with no legit background is getting a shot over dudes with far better credentials due to name value.

You know drat well why this is happening though, this has already gotten publicity from plenty of mainstream news sources and Lesnar has shown that a popular WWE guy will draw fans who otherwise wouldn't purchase a show.

Yes, Lesnar obviously had infinitely more potential to be a top level guy due to his amateur background and size, but that's not necessary to build excitement and draw. It's not like there's not plenty of precedent for MMA orgs to do poo poo to make money that's not in the best interest of pure competitive sport value either.

I know "why" they did/are doing it, I absolutely hate it and don't think it's comparable to Brock who had an extremely strong wrestling pedigree

It's a bitch move that sounds like something out of the Strikeforce/Bellator play book

MMA is built on bitch moves, yuriy, it's just a question of which ones hit, which ones miss, and which ones are hilarious, and this will be hilarious no matter what happens.

1) hes randy couture
2) 209 bitch
3) i have no investment in kimbo slice but his credentials are better than that of punk
4) don't care, way before my time
5) mark hunt has k1 level striking
6) Sexyama owns
7) confused-looking model Can't be a model if you look like you're constantly sniffing farts
8) boxing credentials

i already said that it'd be funny to see him get fitched, so i'm down for seeing cm punk get beaten up but instead they'll feed him a can and we get to do it all over again and the GDT for any CM Punk UFC thread are going to be so bad
