CM Punk & The Rock Take Sides for UFC 159 PPV

Former WWE Champions and 2013 rivals, CM Punk and Dwayne “The Rock” take opposite sides at this weekend’s huge UFC pay-per-view, and once again find themselves at odds.

It has been common knowledge for some time that CM Punk is good friends with former Middleweight fighter Chael Sonnen, while The Rock claims to be a part of “Team Jones” – referring to UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.

Huge @ufc fan. Have tons of respect for the fighters and have become friends w/ quite a few. #UFC159 #TeamJones #RockTalk @chris_belding

In an interview with MMAFighting.com, Chael Sonnen spoke on CM Punk and his role in UFC 159:

“He will be here Saturday. He will be in the locker room. I don’t believe he will be part of the walk-out, but he’s welcome to. But, he does have front-row seats that Dana White gave him, so he’ll have one of the best seats in the house.”

UFC 159 is live on pay-per-view Saturday, April 27th at 10PM EST.
