I'll believe he is fighting when they close the cage door behind him.
He hasn't beaten a fucking thing until he steps into the cage. I still think that is not going to happen.The odds against him are stacked to the roof
He has plenty to lose.And he put it all on the line.Win or lose.I can respect his drive.
CM is challenging himself in the ultimate way. Only on Sherdog is that hated on.
A rich guy who is REALLY financially set decides to fight on the biggest stage in front of millions of people.
The universe awards a man who is willing to step up for a challenge. He'll do good.
Why didn't he do something else that pays more money without getting punched in the face? It's not like the UFC is the only option.With his resources, choice of camp and the money he will earn....on my life, absolutely.
Props for challenging himself but it's not like he scratched and clawed his way fighting for chump change in scrub orgs. He was given a free ride to the top and will make bank from it. I see someone who earned a lot of money, got bored/tired of the WWE life and has the resources and popularity to try his hand in the UFC. Again, props for trying but I don't see this as a heroic act whatsoever.
Edit: for the record, im not cheering for him to lose. Hoping for a good show.

Finally some logic
Thank you
TS is right. All the beta losers that replied are wrong. Punk is a brave man that deserves respect.
War CM Punk.
He has nothing to lose.
He is living his dream.
He is already retired from wrestling.
He is rich.
He is moving on to his next challenge.
Win or lose, he wins.
I tip my hat to the man for putting himself out there the way he is in his mid 30's , takes a lot of balls
To hell with it , I hope he wins
I would like his story if it was a "come from nothing, rise to greatness" type. But as pointed out by @Thepaintbucket , he was given every single advantage you could ask for and will probably make an ass load more than 90% of the roster. Let's call it what it is, it's a freakshow fight.
I have the latest CM PUnk training footage
Again that's cool. It a little easier for him with his money and resources. I wouldn't be shocked if he pulls over a mill.Why didn't he do something else that pays more money without getting punched in the face? It's not like the UFC is the only option.
Dude wants to fight plain and simple.
Giant Silva is life.Of course it's a freak show fight. Doesn't mean the freak deserves no respect. Are you telling me you had no respect for Giant Silva?
To move from WWE where he has a solid fanbase to potentially becoming the laughing stock
Nearly 40 yrs old fighting someone who is half your age and has more experience
yh like i said defying the odds
I could understand you saying that if he was up against a vet but he is facing a fighter with 2 fights coming out of a shittier camp then himself... its normal for a 2-0 fighter to fight a 0-0 fighters sorryThe odds against him are stacked to the roof
He has plenty to lose.And he put it all on the line.Win or lose.I can respect his drive.

Oh be quiet.The odds are against him? Not really. He probably got to handpick his opponent with the help of the UFC. Probably has years of training under his belt now. He has the money to afford trainers, the time to train, high level fighters to train with..etc.
At this point, he's pursuing this as a hobby. His reputation in the MMA community might get laughed at but that's pretty much it.
