The ironic thing here is that Punk could see this as an opportunity to make his stock rise then waltz back into WWE on a part-time schedule like Brock...but he might get so hosed up that he'll never be able to pass a WWE physical again

can't decide which is funnier, punk having to get his stock up to go back to the wwe or a wwe physical

The level to which people think Punk has no idea how to fight another human being is pretty funny.

im pretty sure he takes painkillers and poo poo for medical stuff

no

The level to which people in this thread think CM Punk could not hang with whatever bottom-level can the UFC throws at him is pretty hilarious. Punk can win or lose but the idea that he's gonna get blown out of the loving water is silly.

i don't think cm punk will do well at the sport of mixed martial arts

i think he will completely dominate his opponent, setting up Nick Diaz vs CM Punk, the greatest event in mma history

tbh he has enough money, contacts and free time that he can train intensely for six months with a good-quality team and be good enough to beat a hand-picked opponent who's basically a tomato can but not so much that it's obvious to people who don't watch MMA regularly. afterwards Chael Sonnen will come in the octagon, give him his purple belt, and they'll do a pose together and go to a strip club

if that isn't doing well, I don't know what is

On the recent podcast with Colt Cabana, he mentioned several times that since he left WWE, he's pretty much been doing nothing but having fun, relaxing, and training as much as he possibly can.

His first fight is almost certainly going to be on the televised prelims on a show in Chicago.

While I think this is the most "reasonable" course of action, I would not be surprised in the least if they put Punk in the first match of the actual PPV because Punk WILL get them more buys.

From CM Punk's official website (which probably hasn't been updated in years):

CM Punk is the best in the world and needs to be respected.

While it is entirely possible, even likely, that Punk loses because he is 37 years old, the level to which people think he is a weak, inept loser is shameful.

That said, Punk gonna win with a flying knee into bulldog followers by a Go to Sleep for the no victory.

The level to which people think CM Punk isn't a good fighter is insane. It's off the charts even. It's... no this can't be right. This CAN'T be an accurate reading! It's.... over...9...*static*

great joke

so what do you think he can do, that other people thinks he can't? like what part of his skill set are we underestimating

i think he is a really tough dude with a ton of willpower and i don't really have trouble believing he could stand against a guy with 0-2 pro fights under his belt

you won't point to anything concrete, or really state anything whatsoever. you just keep saying "THOSE guys. THOSE guys are wrong. you'll see. even if he loses they are wrong" which doesn't actually mean anything

but i'm genuinely curious if you watch/follow/care about mma at all or if you are basing your opinions of his toughness and willpower exclusively on pro-wrestling stuff

yes my mma dick is in fact bigger than yours

seriously the phenomenon of people being super defensive in this thread about a wrestleguy coming in to the ufc is really weird. like people believe that dudes on the facebook prelims are godlike warriors who's skills are trained like ninjas

i've said "i think punk is more capable than people in this thread are saying" and a bunch of people are freaking out

lots of pro-wrestlers have successfully transitioned into mma. everyone pretty much unanimously said that punk would be better than someone with his level of experience. we are trying to figure out what you are arguing against. no one is being defensive

that's cool, i disagree with your summary of this thread. i see a lot more people discounting him completely and those are the ones i am speaking to. you don't need to keep defending the others any more.

if anyone's underestimating punk's "athletic capabilities" it's probably because he's an injury prone wreck of a man who wasn't very athletic or coordinated by pro wrestling standards. also he refuses to take drugs like a good fighter.

fair point, he also fractured his skull and cracked his hip and his knees would probably function better if they were legos

no no lets go back to you trying to pretend that you're smart and you want to have an "intelligent discussion" about the outcomes of a future fight between cm punk and whoever while being super defensive on behalf of this thread

Can you name a few guys on the prelims like Punk.

Debuted in the UFC
Debuted in their late 30s
Have no significant background in any martial art or combat sport
I'm actually hoping you'll find people because those sound like cool guys to follow.

sounds like he's a completely unknown variable, to me! i hope the odds are way against him i want to place my first mma bet since i bet against anderson silva and then he shattered his own leg

It's almost a lock that any odds made will have Punk as a very heavy favorite against anybody he's going to face while he's an unknown.

eh to be fair if he's a favorite i doubt it's by much.
