Cm Punk is going to be in a world of hurt, minimal BJJ training and he thinks can get in there and win............I give this guy one fight........WTF is Dana White thinking

i dont think he'll be all that successful, either. mid-30s, cutting all that weight, but he does have a background in kempo and BJJ. currently training with King Mo and Roy Nelson. AKA and ATT is trying to recruit him as well

this is pure rumor and i doubt a fight between the 2 even gets sanctioned. pendred has 18 fights. whoever cm punk fight will have only a few on his resume in fact i bet the guy might not even be on the ufc roster. also looks like pendred has a fight on jan 18th.

"The matchup would matter a great deal," said Bob Bennett of the NSAC. "We are not going to put someone with no fight experience in the cage against a specialized MMA fighter...if he's had no prior fights, that's obviously something that would concern us."

wtf? Brock Lesnar, no MMA experience, has his first fight against former champ Frank Mir. James Toney, no MMA experience, goes up against hall of famer, Randy Couture.

brock lesnar had a fight before the ufc. james toney had like 80 pro boxing fights before the ufc. at the time brock came in the heavyweight division wasnt very deep at all. if he came in now with 1 pro mma fight, i dont see him getting a fight with junior dos santos.

not so fast crab.

according to chael sonnen and a couple other UFC insiders, they already know who punk is fighting. and although they won't give it away, it won't be some no name. they all hinted that it's gonna be somebody we know and has a pretty deep ufc backround. i also think he's gonna fight somebody ranked between 15-20.

and according to him he hasn't gotten his blue belt yet in BJJ. but he says thats due to the fact that he's been in and out of his gym and hasn't dedicated enough time to it.

I wouldn't worry about BJJ too much, I'd work on striking and wrestling for my first fight. Besides, as a beginner in the UFC you wanna stick to the basics of the ground game, guard, half guard, posture up, keep in mind you're being punched in the face while trying to remember your BJJ techniques submissions and sweeps. Too much!!! Stick to wrestling and striking, try to keep the fight standing or GNP.

Well if he trains at Roufus Sport, he can learn how to not be layed and prayed on by having Askren lay on him for 8 hours a day 7 days a week.

no the fight still happens but he has to forfeit like 20-25% of his purse to the opponent.
