Gatts posted:Unless it's scripted (like wrestling, HAW!) I'd think whoever is put against Punk if is an existing fighter, I mean like someone on a downswing in career, will have something to prove and go really aggressive on him. The UFC doesn't give a poo poo about wannabes. They care about money, something that Punk will make them a lot of.

It might be rushing it for a dude with no MMA experience, but I hope Punk fights before the Reebok deal because I want to see what type of sponsors he can drum up. Maybe he can finally get his Slim Jims deal.

Require More Fire posted:I hope Punk does very well in the UFC if only because it will make Vince McMahon, HHH, and Ben Askren really angry. A Sherdog caller claimed that he would rather shoot his own dick off than watch Punk's debut so this whole deal is already worth it.

david carmichael posted:for some reason i get the feeling that cm punk is perhaps not the shrewdest negotiator. He clearly handed WWE their asses in the legal department after his departure (they had no interest in going to court), so he has a very nice lawyer. He is also tight with Heyman, who was Brock's legitimate agent as far as I know.

Punk needs to train with Black House because Anderson might actually be able to pull off a GTS in a fight.

Gonzo McFee posted:Y'all are going to look really stupid when Punk's going on his fifth year of holding all the UFC belts at the same time. To be fair, she'd likely tap a lot of the UFC roster. Edit: I still think Punk will have to fight a literal can to look good, even though I want him to win and be safe.

FullLeatherJacket posted:add to this that Lesnar was never really a guy in WWE who had his own fanbase in the way that CM Punk does CM Punk's fan base is also motivated to show Vince McMahon that they are willing to support Punk financially. His ProWrestlingTees site basically wrecked their website briefly with the number of orders. So not only do you have people conditioned to buying PPVs, but you have the added incentive for some of buying as a mild protest. Punk's first fight will pop a massive buyrate and Dana White will get a new Bible gun.

Odddzy posted:Arent' the UFC up to some shenanigans when it comes to picking a winner in some hard to call circumstances though? I'm asking this as a legitimate question. I don't know for sure, but I've heard that at times some decisions were quite disgusting and should'e been given to the the loser even after watching video evidence. Judges are independent and the UFC has no sway over their oftentimes terrible decisions.

Goldie will call the whole thing straight because he doesn't know any better. Punk might even hit a Turk to Sleep.
