Video: CM Punk Discusses Why He Left WWE for UFC, His MMA Debut and More

Phil “CM Punk” Brooks’ reveal at UFC 181 on Dec. 6 that he’s signed a multi-fight deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship took the MMA and professional wrestling world by storm

Following the event, Brooks talked to acclaimed MMA interviewer Ariel Helwani (for MMAFighting.com) about why he’s chosen to step inside the octagon.

He also participated in a shorter, more condensed interview with Helwani for UFC on Fox.

Editor’s Note

CM Punk continues to break the internet, one interview at a time. I wish him all the success in MMA and UFC. That company is in desperate need of some starpower. Even if he never wins a fight, he’ll end up making Dana White a lot of money.
