He's background and career speaks louder than CM Punk; realistically. Maybe CM Punk shouldn't have even been a Welterweight fighter... let's see if he's even got the chin.
I actually predicted this for a while. He'll do well, his wrestling game is legit. If he learns a little ground work on his back, work on his striking well enough I think he will be a good fighter.
MMA dint have the money in it like WWE till now... Plus some guys there like Jack Swagger a former all American have legit credentials... So y not make the transition?
