Here’s What CM Punk Will Look Like in the UFC

CM Punk, a.k.a Phil Brooks if you want to call him that and get punched in the face, has just appeared in his first official UFC photoshoot. In case you’re wondering what it looks like when a former WWE Champion puts on UFC gloves and isn’t Brock Lesnar, you now have an answer.

This guy also wrote a Thor comic for Marvel this year. Let’s not forget that.

Longtime fans will notice how the shorts are something of a callback to his time in Ring of Honor, much like his use of Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” in his later WWE years.

As of now there are no definite dates or opponents for CM Punk. In this recent interview with Fox Sports:

FSW: What month did you start here? December?

 

PUNK: No, I started here in January. In my mind, I’m shooting for the end of the year (to make my UFC debut). So, October at the earliest, December the latest. If they tell me I’m a whiz kid after six months and they think I’m ready; it might be earlier and it might be later, I don’t know. I know that’s a very vague answer, but I’m taking this extremely seriously.

For the wrestling fans of Geekscape, the interview also dealt with his current relationship with his last passion.

FSW: Since Jan. 2014, speaking of TV, how much WWE programming have you watched?

 

PUNK: None. I don’t watch wrestling anymore. I’ve tried to, but I have an aversion to it. You do something like that for however many years I did it, and it’s like a lifetime. I’ve seen enough.

 

FSW: How does that work with your wife (WWE’s A.J. Lee) still doing it? Does she tell you about it, given that you don’t want to watch it? Or do you watch her stuff?

 

PUNK: I will, yeah, I will watch her stuff. Chances are she’ll only tell me to watch when she’s excited about something. But, yeah, it’s my wife, she’s a grown-ass woman, she can do what she needs to.

 

FSW: No NXT for you then?

 

PUNK: No, no. I lived it.

Excited to see CM Punk duke it out in the UFC? I am. Let us know if you are in the comments. And if you miss CM Punk in the WWE like I do, well, we can always watch this again.
