Wanderlei Silva Claims To Receive WWE Offer, CM Punk MMA Note, Ronda Rousey In SI Swimsuit Issue
- CM Punk's MMA trainer Duke Roufus continues to have positive things to say about his student. After his first full month of training, Roufus appeared on MMA Junkie Radio and spoke about the former WWE Champion.
"(It's been) really good. We've had about a month together," Roufus said. "We're having a good time. The guy is working hard. He's got a great attitude and he is a sponge. He's going to be an entertaining fighter in the UFC, and that's why we watch."
- Banned UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva is now claiming that WWE has made him some sort of offer, backing up Chael Sonnen's claims that the two have been invited to the WWE Hall of Fame and WrestleMania 31.
"I received a great proposal of WWE and now I'm wondering what you think of the idea," Silva posted on Facebook. He also posted a message in Portuguese talking about how little MMA fighters are getting paid.
WWE officials denied Sonnen's claims.
- UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey will be featured in the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. While she's not featured on the cover, her name is mentioned on it. The issue hits newsstands next Monday.
Here is a copy of the cover:
