Matt D Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The thing that excites me the most out of this is the idea that Tank Abbott might be able to write an issue of The Incredible Hulk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitlick Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Lol at the TUF China comments a few pages back. Makes me feel better about Australia's Seasons. Probably (hopefully) the worst season ever. The coaches actually sat together after the fights and discussed how they went. Really bad season. Honestly couldn't tell you who won and I watched the whole season and finale. Only thing I remember was that they had a guy who wasn't even trained as a fighter fight. Maybe Punk can fight him?

Trocar Slush Weasel Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm sure Akira Shoji, Alexander Otsuka or Daijiro Matsui are available for Punk's first fight. If not, isn't Alberto Del Rio wanting to make an MMA comeback? Just tell Punk to forget about the weight cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Daijiro Matsui vs. CM Punk is some quality Fire Pro action man. UFC really doesn't have anything close to enough good fighters for me to be worried about Punk taking someone's deserved spot on a show or something, so go forth young man. Seek concussion 14.

E.J. Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If anyone is interested, Punk does some BJJ at the beginning of this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Having had time to digest, I would say regardless of how Punk does, Dana has pulled off a good deal. I haven't watched a UFC show in what seems like forever (in reality, probably Brocks last night). All I've spoken about with friends today is Punk / UFC and I'm genuinely eager to try and catch up with all the goings on since I last watched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yeah same for me looks like when Punk does debut instead of me and 2 of my friends watching it will be like a group of 8 of us watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could make Punk vs, Hero happen in a UFC ring, they could have all my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glfpunk Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 This guy is in his mid 30s and just beginning mma with no significant grappling or striking background. He's going to get completely wrecked. He's not beginning his mma career in super cage fest extreme down the road from you, he's beginning it in the ufc. And not at heavyweight, in a real weight class. I don't think this is going to go well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Even if they can't find someone he could compete with I would have to assume his first fight will do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Echo what someone said about me hoping that he'd had signed as announcer. Punk is going to get murdered in the Octagon. AJ Lee is going to have some uncomfortable nights watching her man get leveled in the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bad feeling that the guy they put him in the ring will be less of a tomato can and more of a guy looking to put his name in the hunt by knocking out someone with a reputation. See: Kimbo Slice vs. Seth Petruzelli Mirko Crocop vs. Gabriel Gonzaga Now, whether or not Punk can turn a bad loss into a career like Brock did by meathooking Frank Mir into a pulp remains to be seen.

Hagan Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Best case he wins the debut against a tomato can, wins against a more credible guy, gets fast tracked to a title shot where he'll be killed but it'll do 1 million buys, calls it quits and becomes an announcer.

_MJ_ Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I just read the last 4 pages of this thread and we really need more synonyms for "tomato can" in here. I'm guilty of it too. Lets think outside of the box. Edited December 7, 2014 by _MJ_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yeah, this thread is pretty sad as expected. Good chance Punk gets destroyed, but people doubting the UFC'a ability to find someone Punk can probably steamroll is pretty sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Best case he wins the debut against a tomato can, wins against a more credible guy, gets fast tracked to Silva/GSP where he'll be killed but it'll do 1 million buys, calls it quits and becomes an announcer. Part of me would like to see Silva clown him for a round before knocking him out with one hit. GSP would be more interesting as GSP would grind on him for 3 rounds.

Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If Punk is half as bad as most people are making him to be, yeah, there's no chance GSP would let the fight go for 15 minutes without finishing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
