Could you have beaten CM Punk?

[Chart69r]

Considering my bluebelt and ok fundamentals in striking, I think I could have beaten him tbh

 

[MRT]

It's funny that a fake fighter thought he was a real fighter

It is also funny that so many people don't believe that Brooks could probably beat the vast majority of Sherdoggers.

If we stayed on the feet I'd starch him. The real test would be dealing with the slothguard and hammer fists to the midsection.

That punch would have launched me into another dimension.

everyone wants to hate on the man but the reality is my boy Philip Brooks would've bodied 90% of you

Did you create this post just so you could write "bodied"? To be completely honest I think Punks problem is himself not his opponents. He spent most of his "fight" career trying not to hurt his opponent and it doesn't appear that he's quite flipped that switch in his head.

People who never governed have opinions about politics.

Isn't it supposed to be the case that in a democracy, the governed participate in their governance? There is something paradoxical in the assumption that only those who hold elected office have relevant experience to legitimate their opinions on politics.
Otherwise, great post.

I agree 100%. My point was simply that it is common for people to talk about stuff they have no personal experience with or training in. The poster I was replying to deemed it strange that people who have never practiced martial arts had opinions on MMA and was commenting here and I was trying to illustrate that this is common with tons of other topics.

I’d bet 999,999.00 out of a million that id put him to sleep

 

[theblackknight]

Yes I could have beaten him but I’ve fought pro Muay Thai before and trained MMA, Jiu Jitsu and wrestled when I was younger.

 

[MescalineDreams]

For the record I would've demolished Phil

It would take at least five clones of him to take me down and even then the chances are slim

 

[AtaTheCrow]

I have no chance now on the feet (sitting on a wheelchair), but as soon as we touch the ground he will be choked out, or i brake his neck.

 

[BoTyson]

Put me through that same 2-3 fight camp he had and i'd smash him via being much bigger like 7" taller than him and 100lbs heavier and the fact i'm a blue belt in bjj and have been doing karate, boxing and muay thai over the last 30 years, since i was 8 and trained in the same club and rolled with am. And pro mma fighters.

Only problem is i couldnt make welter weight haha.

Hes probably the only guy in ufc history that i'd fuck with in any weight class

 

[Brampton_Boy]

Honestly, probably not.

While I have a significant size and strength advantage (I'm a solid 100lbs heavier), I imagine my cardio would be shot in a matter of minutes. Plus, being somewhat muscle bound makes the mechanics of kicking and punching difficult.

When I was younger and actually trained martial arts in lieu of bodybuilding, I probably could have held my own, but would still favor CM punk by a wide margin.

People like to rag on the guy, but at the very least, he is physically fit (which puts him ahead of 90% of the adult population). That, coupled with a couple of years of grappling and striking, would probably mean he wrecks most non trained people.

Either the demographic of Sherdog is full of young, athletic martial artists, or people are grossly overestimating their own abilities.

 

[whitekid]

no, i'm a middle aged fat fuck who used to amateur box as a kid... i got my ass kick more times than i can remember, and i probably would do no better even against someone who's as bad as cm punk

 

[Robert Clarke]

I really wanted him to succeed

 

[Sean0]

I remember watching him in WWE thinking I wouldn't be afraid to fight him. Not saying i'd beat him since he legit trained but i just never bought him as a tough guy.

 

[Alxair]

I'm lucky enough to be unironically 6'4 250lbs(albeit 14% bf, I know, I'm a disgrace) and trained boxing for years so I like my chances by pure strength.

 

[Reydereyes]

Been training MMA for 1 year and BJJ for 2. I would fuck him up real bad not because I am good or anything its just that he is so freaking untalented it's unbelievable.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I’ve said as much before. I’m pretty damn sure I could

Lol this

 

[Blayt7hh]

Isnt he a blue belt in bjj? That means he could choke out 95% of sherbros.

After watching his last fight, I honestly don’t believe he is a blue belt
