One thing that crossed my mind is this is a guy who has been very vocal in his annoyance that part-timers have been turning up in WWE and taking spots from those that bust their asses all year around (highlighting the likes of Batista and The Rock getting WM Main Events when he got none, which is a fair argument to a point).
Now he's doing exactly the same thing in UFC. Punk has NO Professional MMA Experience, and from what I've heard it's not a piece of cake for the actual Pro's to get signed up to appear on UFC shows, so he's now taking a spot on their PPV's that could have been given to someone who has spent their career trying to make it in MMA based on the fact he made his name elsewhere. At least batista, The Rock and Brock have actually paid their dues in the Wrestling Industry at some point to have built a name deserving of some recognition, Punk has not.
Plus the likelihood is his first match or two will probably be against similarly unknown 'MMA' fighter's to give him the best chance of a win, which means he's actually taken TWO spots from more deserving guys.
Now I have no love for UFC or it's athletes, but this is rank hypocrisy from Punk.
