I think I can safely assume that most of us on this forum have no interest in professional wrestling, however you'd have to be in denial if you think that the narrative doesn't matter in MMA.

The UFC needs to find a draw for PPV, that is the sad, yet understandable, reality. That said, put the business aspect to one side, if he can come in and be competitive then I don't have a problem with this.

it's true, but if he wasn't a former pro-wrestler he wouldn't be getting the UFC gig.
I don't know the guy, never have seen him wrassle or talk or fight r anything, have nothing against him, but this is just a huge MEH for me, it's just a random guy who has never fought pro MMA and got a golden ticket. They probably gonna Connor him and baby him and lobby him to death chasing more money.
I'm already bored by this

CM Punk will headline a FOX show in his first fight?
True or False
UFC is obviousy doing this for the ratings, why not go bust on it and get some huge ratings while you can!

False, they are gonna milk that cash cow on PPV till it drys up. The only way he fights on FOX is if FOX compensates UFC for the loss of PPV revenue

Riddle and Mitrione were 0-0 when they debuted, currently Yao Zhikui is 1-3 (assuming he doesn't have fights missing off his record which could be the case), Angela Hill 1-0 against a nobody in a random bum**** promotion and lost her only fight on TUF, Jessica Rakoczy 1-4, Raquel Pennington got signed at 3-3 granted against tough competition. It's really not as uncommon as you think, and those fighters didn't even have the name value that Punk has.
Speaking of Bellator, looks like they are targeting pro wrestlers, particularly Dos Caras Jr/Alberto Del Rio.

Hill, Rakozcy and Pennington all brought in with the unveiling of new divisions of the UFC womens BW and SW and went through TUF house to boot.
Rakozcy extensive boxing background, Hill Muay Thai n Kickboxing background.
Punk has no Gym, No Striking, mediocre BJJ. They should have just hired him as a commentator and got rid of Goldie, that would be more interesting to me than a 36yr old with 0 experience that is waiting almost a year to debut.
I figure they will roll him out on the July 4th card during Fight Week or whatever they call it.

I would suggest they not try and do 46 events a year. Funny they made more money doing less events and when they oversaturated the market their financials have tanked.
