CM Punk's former foe follows him to MMA?

[FrankieNYC]

The guy that CM Punk singled out as a sloppy wrestler than injures people & who he calls "steroid guy" might be following him into MMA.

Former WWE star Ryback has been in talks over the last week with Bellator MMA about fighting. He teased an announcement on Twitter and Bellator has confirmed there have been talks, but nothing serious.

"Spoke, but nothing close," said Bellator CEO Scott Coker.

Sources close to the wrestler confirmed to us that he's interested in fighting and in the end it will come down to money. He spoke about the situation today on Las Vegas radio.

Ryback is nearly 35, and while incredibly strong, has never competed in any fighting sport, but he has done some training in boxing and Jiu Jitsu.

This has little to do with, from his perspective, what happened with C.M. Punk, who he wished well in his UFC debut. Punk was unsuccessful in his first fight after transitioning from the squared circle to the Octagon, losing to Mickey Gall by submission in the first round at UFC 203 earlier this month.

TNA champion Bobby Lashley also fights in Bellator.

This guy doesn't even have wrestling credentials. He will get wrecked faster than CM punk being thats he's a HW fighter.

It's funny because CM Punk was pretty good at botching moves and hurting guys, he's just pissed that RyBack is a genetic freak and he's skinny fat

No faster. HW anyplace end fights faster due to power. Usually 1st round. This guy has no idea what he' s doing. He's just a body who will get abused seconds in. Bellator HW is actually pretty decent with guys like Vitalay Mitrione Lashley and others.

So much joooce.

Who is that???
I don´t know that ugly MoFo.

He wouldn't have to worry about USADA in Bellator - this isn't fighter-bashing coz you know, Ryback isn't a fighter - he's roided off his chops and he knows he'd fail a test. But Lashley/Ryback would do good numbers for Bellator and it's no more shit than CM Punk in the UFC so fill your boots, Ryback.

FEED ME CANS.

 

[Morris88]

That makes total sense. I mean after seeing how well CM Punk did with no amateur background a lot of these WWE guys must be thinking "shit I should give it a go".

 

[Dylslice]

FEED ME CANS.

He'll get lots of tomato in bellator
