He does not have much in the way of formal MMA training -- he started training BJJ at Gracie schools like 2 years or so ago and apparently has been doing "MMA training" for the past 6 months or so. He has no amateur record to speak of. lol

no one feels insecure about mma. no one is going to be upset if cm punk wins a fight or is good.

Gonzo McFee posted:Not really an MMA guy but wasn't there a bunch of MMA fans throwing hissyfits when Brock was champion? a lot of people hated brock but I think it had more to do with his personality than anything I only know of CM punk because he was on WTF. He seems like a cool person not a crazy egomaniac millionaire living out a woodsman fantasy in a log mansion with his fake titted wife Bundt Cake fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Dec 7, 2014 |

Gonzo McFee posted:Again not much of a MMA guy, but from watching his fights his style was "Be a gigantic freak of nature, sit on my opponents and hit them until they stop moving" yes? He didnt really know how to strike, but he was legitimately fast and strong as gently caress with his shots and there is plenty of precedent for a big strong guy like that to not only be successful but respected in MMA at heavyweight. Tom Erikson, Mark KErr, etc. They didn't have a lot of experience either and weren't any good standing. Heavyweight just isnt a deep division, and guys can burn out fast, and so natural talent and technique go a long way. Just having that outstanding wrestling background made him a real fighter. Of course there were other, better fighters with physical advantages, great technique, and even better training and wrestling that brock. I mean your impression is sort of right, but thats a real legit way to be at 206+ lbs

if his knees are really that bad hes going to have a hard time making it through a training camp let alone getting someone to the ground in a fight

Lets be clear. Even if CM punk was in the top 100 talents ever in mma, like lesnar, he would absolutely get destroyed by Sonnen if it was his first fight

It is good how people are rationalizing that CM Punk will have better training so he has a good chance to beat his first opponent, because they're discounting the fact that his first opponent will probably have natural ability and also a non-old body. I think if we were anywhere but the internet forumsphere that in an average group of 18-31 year old males, probably half could beat up CM Punk.

Any 18 year old kid could walk to into a gym and say I cant afford to pay and mop the gym mats to train as much as CM Punk

Hopefully its all a joke and CM Punk does a clothesline and an elbow drop on the guy who flops and twitches all his limbs when hit and Joe Rogan goes Gotcha

This almost seems like an insurmountable problem to me. Theres no one at his level. There's no old, injured person with no experience.
