CM PUNK
CM Punk, former WWE Superstar, announced that he is joining the UFC on Saturday. According to Wrestlezone (read the article here). Punk has trained in MMA with the Gracie family so he has some experience in MMA.
Punk says he plans to make his debut in 2015 either as a welterweight or middleweight. I'm sure Punk will have no shortage of challengers as he has great name identity from WWE and is a newcomer to the sport. Many fighters may target him because they feel that he is getting into the
UFC in an easy fashion and doesn't have to earn a spot.
Either way this is a smart move by the UFC and Dana White. Whether Punk wins or loses in UFC, fans of wrestling and MMA will tune in to see it.
I wish him well and hope that it all works out for him.
