20141206-220409.jpg

NOPE you’re not dreaming you read the headline correctly. The self proclaimed “Best in the world” is trading in his wrestling boots for some UFC gloves. It was announced on air from the UFC181 ppv in Las Vegas with the help of UFC commentator Joe Rogan that none other then CM Punk has signed with the UFC.

It is being said that Punk will be making his octagon debut in 2015 as a fighter in the middleweight division. It should be noted the Punk does have extended training in BJJ and has friends in the organization. You can read more about this major announcement here http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/12/07/cm-punk-signs-with-ufc

How do you feel about this announcement. This wouldn’t be the first time a former WWE superstar has transition into the fight world. Do you think Punk will fit in? Do you think it’s a bad move?

Personally I think the move will gain a lot of crossover fans and if this is something punk wants I’m all for it. One question remains though. Will he be fighting under CM Punk or Phill Brooks?? Only time will tell

20141205-115648.jpg

You read the title right folks, CM Punk returned to the “art of wrestling” podcast to sit down with his buddy Colt Cabana. This podcast is a little more laid back and is more of a conversation amongst friends. However Punk touches on a few WWE things such as WWE not wanting him to be on LA Ink or a slim Jim sponsor, the Vince McMahon apology and of corse the cm punk chants. If you are or (were) a punk fan you’re going to want to listen to this one. https://m.soundcloud.com/coltcabana/aow-227-cm-punk-returns
