Mick Foley Offers Thoughts on CM Punk Joining UFC

WWE Hall of Famer and “Hardcore Legend” Mick Foley recently took to his Facebook account to offer his thoughts on CM Punk joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship:

I’ve been asked quite a bit over the past several days for my opinion on CM Punk’s decision to sign with UFC. I applaud it. While I have no idea how Punk will fare with top level MMA competitors, I do know that no one will out-train him or out-work him, and that, whether he wins or loses, succeeds or fails, he’s likely to be responsible for a few incredible PPV buy-rates – which had been a cause of concern for him since the dawning of the #WWENetwork…which, last time I checked was only $9.99 a month.

Just as importantly, #CMPunk won’t end up sitting on his couch 10 years from now, muttering the two dirtiest words in the English language: “what if”?

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin also chimed in on Punk’s move to MMA, which you can read by clicking here.

Punk is expected to have his first fight with the company during the summer of 2015. His opponent has yet to be confirmed at this time.

Editor’s Note

Foley has always had a good relationship with Punk. It’s no surprise to hear him be happy for any career choice he makes. No regrets.
