- Thanks to reader Jules Kerin for the following:
CM Punk appeared on AXS TV's Inside MMA show on Friday. He said he's about 6 months away from his UFC debut and they won't be trying to figure out his opponent until he's ready. He's still on for a late 2015 fight.
Punk said he's been dropping a lot of weight and is looking to fight at 185 pounds. When he first started talking to UFC he was at 220 pounds.
Punk's coach Duke Roufus was there with him and said the training is going good but Punk has no fight ideas or concepts but he's working on it.
Jim Ross later appeared on the show and said Punk going to UFC has a lot of guys in the WWE locker room talking about MMA these days.
