Anthony Pettis says former WWE star CM Punk is still training at Roufusport.
Punk’s future as a member of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) roster is unclear. The former pro wrestling star has gone 0-2 in his time under the UFC banner. He suffered a submission loss to Mickey Gall in his pro debut and then dropped a unanimous decision to Mike Jackson.
Pettis Gives Update On Punk’s Time At Roufusport
“Showtime,” who is coming off a second-round knockout win over Stephen Thompson, spoke to TMZ Sports and gave the following update on Punk (via BJPenn.com):
“CM Punk is still there [at Roufusport]. He’s doing more of the jiu jitsu, the rolling. The time that he should have spent getting ready to fight is what he’s doing now. They put a lot of pressure on him. They made him come over with no experience and fight on the biggest stage. I don’t know anybody that could do that. Not even some young kids. He is still training. I don’t know what his plan is. I know he’s doing some movies and a couple other things, but I don’t know if he plans on fighting again or what. He’s still training. He’s in the gym. That dude’s a hard worker.”
Punk recently served as a color commentator for a CFFC event. That card aired live on UFC Fight Pass. Stick with MMA News for the latest updates on Punk’s fighting future.
Do you think we’ll see CM Punk back inside the Octagon?
