CM Punk Injured in Training

“He got caught in a scramble, so right now he’s taking a little time off”, Roufus told ESPN.com. “He was doing great before that”. He’s got a great attitude and he’s a hard worker. However, he has been training at a well-known place, the Roufusport Academy in Milwaukee.

“The UFC will probably book him a fight three to four months in advance – a guy of his magnitude”, Roufus said. Hopefully this injury doesn’t push it back too much further. We had a ballpark. “We’re probably looking at a fight in the next six to 10 months”.

Roufus also shed a few light on when he thinks we could see Punk in the Octagon. Punk tweeted out the below, dissing the well-known charity organisation.

This news comes after months after CM Punk, real name Phil Brooks, revealed he would be competing as a member of the UFC’s welterweight division.

According to the article, he is scheduled to see a doctor on October 14th and could be cleared then.

It is no secret to MMA fans and fans of CM Punk that Roufus wants Punk as prepared as possible before he steps foot into the UFC Octagon for the very first time.

Punk is expected to make his UFC debut as a welterweight (170 pounds), and as for his opponent, nobody is certain who that will be. Anthony lost his title to Rafael dos Anjos and suffered a broken orbital.

As Inquisitr previously reported, Punk was once asked when he would be debuting, but he said that the decision was up to his coaches. I like people seeing the reality of the sport. He came into the sport with no MMA training and has been training and working to get ready for a professional fight in the world’s biggest MMA promotion.

At this point, Punk’s debut is looking more likely to be mid to late Summer 2016, a full year and a half after signing with the promotion.
