It’s a great day for CM Punk fans, particularly the ones who still cling to those halcyon days of him stepping into an ROH ring in gym shorts. We now get to see him step into the octagon-ed circle… also in gym shorts!
CM Punk — Phil Brooks, if you’re nasty — had his first official UFC photoshoot, giving us a preview of what he’ll look like before he starts getting punched in the head and body for realsies:
Wow. That guy really does prefer mean mugs to drugs.
So, when do we get to see this iteration of CM Punk officially debut? According to his latest interview with Fox Sports, it could be within the year:
In my mind, I’m shooting for the end of the year. So, October at the earliest, December the latest. If they tell me I’m a whiz kid after six months and they think I’m ready; it might be earlier and it might be later, I don’t know. I know that’s a very vague answer, but I’m taking this extremely seriously.
