Tommy the Green, White, Red, Black, Ranger is a former MMA fighter lol. He must really want to get out of the convention circuit. Also Punk is enough of a mark that he would probably want the distinction of going up against a Power Ranger.

He sells evangelical T-shirts and breaks Guinness records now

I suppose I'm asking if any UFC fans with no interest in WWE are excited or interested in this news OR do people feel Phil Brooks is more of a performer than a fighter with a bit of background? I'm kinda interested in level headed reaction really.

I've never seen a wrestling event with Chick Magnet but at some point in 2015 a PPV will screech to a halt for 15 minutes so he can act out his midlife crisis by beating up the homeless. He's pretty obviously just a gimmick, which is fine, but I'm not sure why I'd be excited about it? Good fights are good fights and Punk isn't going to be having any.

Yoel Romero and Daniel Cormier both got into MMA when they were very old and found success. They're also both freak athletes with Olympic medals in wrestling and Cormier previously fought in the weakest division in the world.

Because he thought he was going to win and some combination of getting killed in sparring by Duke roufus, going 0-20 to a bunch of weekenders in smokers and watching Gall ko a guy with six years kickboxing experience within the first minute has changed his mind

I haven't kept up with MMA in a looong time, so hypothetical question: Let's say Dana White and Joe Silva stopped caring about competition and respectability, and had the opportunity to book freakshow matches that would draw money--like if retired pro wrestlers and actors wanted to fight each other. How far could they go before they faced repercussions from the athletic commissions? I'm thinking they just wouldn't medically clear a match like Giant Silva vs. Akebono.
