During tonight’s preliminary card at UFC 181, CM Punk joined Joe Rogan on commentary and revealed he had signed a deal with the MMA promotion. Punk had the following to say:

“I have a limited window like all fighters do, and I’m here for a fight. This is my new career, 100%,” Punk told Rogan in an interview.

“I have respect for everyone who fights in the UFC, and by the time I’m done, they’ll respect me.” Punk added he’ll likely be competing at middleweight or welterweight, but light heavyweight is completely out of the question.

So what do you make of this development, PWF?

PWF's thoughts:

CM Punk is a white belt in Brazillian jiu-jtsu and has been training MMA for a while so I think he will do just fine.

No matter how well Punk does in UFC, one thing that can be said is that UFC and MMA in general have taken big WWE stars such as Brock Lesnar and now CM Punk (to a lesser extent, Batista) and have/will make money off of them and get more publicity. UFC needs the next big thing which they have been missing since Brock Lesnar left. This ultimately and undoubtably will bring in more viewers/crossover audience to UFC.
