At least he is giving it a try, he is doing something he has never done, knowing he can get knocked out and suffer real damage, what are all these critics on the comment section doing with their lives? that's what live is all about, getting out your comfort zone and try new things. Best of luck to Cm Punk.
I've done this on a very small level. It takes real guts to step in the octagon with a seasoned fighter like Gall, and actually believe at Punk's age and skill level that you have a chance to win. I trained with a guy named Bill Jones, who was 5th in the world in goju ryu. I wasn't a guy that had never fought before, but I had never seen anything like that before. He was amazing. He locked me up and squeezed the life out of me. I got choked out over and over; like a thousand plus times i was caught in one bad position or another. It took me months of training to survive a round or two. I was training at the level of a world-class athlete at that time in my life. This guy would use all my speed and strength against me. Finally, one day I rolled my hips and caught him in an arm bar. I know what it is like to go against someone daily (in real full-contact matches) with someone who is truly world-class. Anyone with any sense knows he can't beat a BJJ Brown Belt. Quite frankly, I felt like the loser of the Gall vs Jackson (I think was dude's last name) should've been the one to fight Phil Brooks. I mean, if the other guy was a tomato can, maybe Punk would stand a better chance and you could at the least milk him for a few fights against tomato cans. He would probably still lose a couple fights even to hand-picked tomato cans, but maybe he would get a win in there somewhere. I feel this killed his wrestling career. I know wrestling is a show, and it isn't like he was the best fighter in the world; but, when your gimmick is "Best in the World," losing badly in a real fight ruins that slogan. Hopefully, Punk's humbling defeat shows everyone just how awesome Brock Lesnar is. People have told me they thought he didn't do that good in the UFC. Are you kidding? He won the belt. I don't care if he lost some fights. It takes someone special to win at all against the level of fighters Lesnar faced. But, why would you give Punk a guy that can not just beat him, but beat actual UFC fighters like Sage? They should've given him the easiest fight he could get.
Dude I'm sure more than half these people would get in the cage for the money cm punk is getting payed, shit I'm sure a lot of people would fight for free just for the exposure. stfu.
I agree they haven't seen punk in the octagon yet they thinks he's gonna be bad because he was a former wrestler. Look at Brock or Dave Bautista, they were wrestlers and both did well in mma
I agree I love him and the way he thinks acts and his attitude its inspiring. An also he is so sweet and cute to his wife April and I love her, Aj lee was my favorite diva and always has bin I hate almost all the others ones but not her. I wish they could have became the power couple that HHH and Stef are now.
This is a great reality show! Punk seems to have a weird stance when fighting and doesn't really block, but he has a great attitude and can only get better as a fighter. Good luck!
I rooter for punk through this whole thing. He clearly respects the sport. And they (still) had to give him a hard time. I automatically loved him cause he's the underdog. He handled this whole thing like a man. He didn't play the blame game. He didn't let no one stop him,
Lol at all these dweebs typing all type of negativity and hate from their parents basement while licking the cheetos of their fingers. At least this guy is stepping up and putting in work everyday to fulfil a goal.
youssef f Do you need a tampon? simmer down honey lol. I'm not envious. I think its just sad that he's being given so much spotlight when he looks and fights like fucking shit and should be in the prelims, if not in a local comp at least, winning a fight or two first before embarrassing himself.
All jokes aside, I can't help but respect this man for stepping out of his comfort zone and challenging himself on the most dangerous platform in combat sports.
I actually do wonder if he has significantly improved since this was filmed in early 2015. I say that because look at the way they are setting this show up. Two episodes in he looks awful. Horrible. A laughing stock. BUT it was 15 months ago. Anyone, no matter what, will improve at something if they train at it over 15 months. I have a feeling they are editing this program this way intentionally and he is now significantly better. They are intentionally lowering expectations. Don't get me wrong, I expect him to lose. But I have a feeling it's not going to be as bad as it looks through these first two episodes. And this is intentional for dramatic effect.
Ever heard the saying "can't teach an old dog new tricks"? I think it applies here. From what I hear, he's still awful lol at least his kicks are. I kind of do hope he pulls the victory tho. This little series is making me root for him
scrolled way to much to find this comment. You speak the truth, i wanna see how far he's gone aswell. This footarge doesnt show his current skill but what he was year ago.
This was a while ago.. But he had a shoulder injury and back surgery in the meantime,. Wasn't exactly training this whole time. He will get smoked, guaranteed. I respect his balls for doing it, won't change the fact he will fail tho.
+dom the dominator That's the point. It wasn't exactly looking good in WWE either. Especially considering his health. And if he gets his ass kicked, he's probably still being paid very well for it. I don't think he even HAS to work again. He already made a ton of money.
He's definitely better now, at this point he was not good he couldn't sprawl or defend a choke or strike at all, but he's been steadily developing, and now that he's developed into someone better who has proper knowledge of what a fight really truly entails, he has a chance. The pressure that everyone puts on him would be hard, he'd just have to not listen to anybody who shares their opinion of the potential outcome with him, it's all about listening to yourself now and not letting the opinions and beliefs of others dictate your potential in the moment ya know? I think he'll be alright, this is old footy- he HAS to have gotten better.
Me too. After watching these videos I really wish he would've gotten some amateur or low-level MMA fights first. Stepping right into the UFC is a very tall order and I'm afriad Mr. Punk can't fill it. He seems like a nice guy. I hope he doesn't get hurt.
So, let's recap what the fuck happened. Punk got taken down, ground n pounded, raped from the back and choke out in the first half of the first round by the literal munchkin of the UFC. Mkay? As long as you understand.
From an Australian, There is a guy called Jarryd Hayne who wasn't challenged by the sport he was playing anymore and he always wanted to have a crack at NFL. Instead of calling him a pretender and an idiot almost everyone supported his motivation and willingness to try something new. He put in a huge effort and made some progress but now he is back in rugby league. He didn't quite make it but everyone still admires him for following his dream. CM Punk is almost the exact same scenario so congratulations to him and good luck! Personally i really hope he shuts all the doubters up
It's brutal that Punk undeniably worked his ass off at one of the best MMA camps in the world and still got slapped in 2mins by Gall. Really puts into perspective how many decades it takes to even be a mid tier MMA athlete.
lol how did they happen to have dana's and cum punk phone calls recorded... fuckin bullshit shows. show the guy training for 5 min and the oddsmakers will show what they think
Why not? The UFC is a business and they are promoting the fight. I, personally, have enjoyed the insight into who CM Punk is, and where is mindset is for this challenge. Win or lose, the guy is a stand up guy.
This little series has given me a lot of respect for anyone that fights. Punk is a good athlete, excellent cardio, reasonably strong and semi versed in jui jitsu. This Craig fella with only 8 fights absolutely schools him. Goes to show a great athlete doesn't make a great fighter.
I've always been a fan of Punk. I fully support him on his journey to become a UFC fighter. Wins or gets destroyed, It will never change my support for him.
i'm a big fan of CM Punk & i like that he represents Chicago, but he's going to get his ass whooped. he doesn't look like he hits hard and is always taken down. i hope im wrong tho
Then he got injured, bad striking with a shoulder injury of all places. How can he damage someone with those already weak punches plus a fucked up shoulder?
He needs a proper boxing coach to work on his striking, how can they compliment him while he was throwing awful punches? I hope he gets better trainers.
This reminds me of my prep for my first amateur fight. Good times, you learn so much as ap erson when you push yourself to your physical limit. It's almost like it makes you feel reborn.
Lesnar wasn't that good in the beginning either. His only advantage was his natural size, speed, and his freakish strength. Punk doesn't have those advantages. At all. I hope Punk does well, but... he did not look good. At all.
Michael Vin Brock was a div 1 national champion, so he had a great wrestling base. Punk isn't close to that. That's why it is taking so long for his first fight. He needs a lot of training. Plus, Brock fought Frank his first fight and he was a lot tougher opponent than what Punk is facing.
Lesnar had no skills.He was just a big,strong wrestler who was also on steroids.He had no stand up,he was also not good at taking a shot.He got a title shot after two fights,one of which he lost.He was/is a joke.Punk might not win his debut fight but I think he will bring more to the table than Lesnar did.I could be wrong though.
For those who say Pro Wrestling is real here is the prove it's not CM Punk had to train from the basics. John Cena won't last 1 round in the Octagon.. Much respect to CM Punk for transitioning into the real deal.
+JackRaj you do know a lot of ufc fans watch wwe? It's like watching boxing and rocky films. It's obvious one is a sport and one is entertainment and you can still enjoy both for what they are.
I understand that this footage was shot a year ago, but there is only so much improvement a guy in his late 30's can make in that amount of time. From the film I saw here, I am confident that I could have wrecked CM Punk in a boxing or kickboxing fight, and maybe even in mma (and I've never trained grappling btw) when they shot this. I am by no means an advanced striker, I would hardly call myself decent, but CM Punk is terrible, just terrible. He seems like a pretty cool guy, I really hope he gets his shit together enough to at least avoid utter humiliation.
This is similar to a guy who has never played baseball trying to succeed in the major leagues after practicing for a few months. He will get knocked out or submitted in the first round.
This is a great show. He has a long way to go. But the fact that he knows where he stands and still goes out there to train everyday to get better is something. Something inspirational about it.
UFC fans im warning you, you don't know what your dealing with. You think Diaz and McGregor fanboys are bad? CM Punk fanboys are probably the worst group of fans in the history of the Internet. If CM Punk manages to win, this channel is finished. The trolling will be unstoppable.
Ground game is so tough to pick up with very little experience. Its takes a year of training just to get decent at it...Brock almost got his leg snapped by Mir. Thats what i think is gonna happen with Punk or a armbar
Well at this point he will have been training for 1.5 years, but as someone who trains ju jitsu i agree with you that it's the slowest martial art to get good at.
I agree... Except that I think he's going to eat the first two or three big shots Gall throws and then get taken out on a stretcher. Poor guy has no head movement and a neck made from a Slinky, and all these guys were going what looked like 25% so they didn't hurt him in front of the cameras.
The rankings are not 100% but overall they are pretty good. And for an even more controversial opinion i really like Dana White and his way of running the UFC :)
No matter how much/hard he trains, he will not be at the level necessary to compete in the UFC for quite some time. He really needs experience in order to truly develop his skill set. For crying out loud, does he even know how to wrestle? Thank goodness the fight will not be a PPV ticket.
Out of shape. Lack of skills. May or may not get destroyed. May or may not destroy the opponent. Despite everything. Phil Brooks has a massive heart and he is going for it. Respect.
They almost had me with the other episodes , but this is going to be dangerous for him..He doesn't have a lot of athletic ability. His sprawls look like someone that has never even been in a street fight!...I wish him the best, but I feel like he has an explosive young man ahead of him..He doesn't have any explosion to him at all!
exactly, it says it right at the beginning he's only been doing it for 2 months at this point, they are showing this footage now to hype the fight cause every UFC fan wants this guy to get destroyed. he will still lose though but he'll look at better than this.
I really Hope this footage old and he will be kinda ready to fight I don't get why y'all wanna see a guy doing bad just cause he wants to live his dream. Realistically he's gonna lose I just hope he at least looks like he has a chance
It's hard not to respect Punk when he's released footage of him getting tapped out and finding it difficult to beat his sparring opponents and still he's not backing down from challenging at Welterweight! I hope he does well
I've been watching fighting for like 30 years now and I've never been so sure about something in my life than i am that Punk will get a title shot and go on a win streak. One reason is Dana loves this guy. They're like best friends and Dana would give anything to see him matched up with a champion regardless if he deserves it or not. So all Punk has to do is win a few fucking fights. He doesnt have to be great in all areas just submit a couple fighters and he's right there.
Just watching him and AJ together is a beautiful thing
honestly the only reason i'm watching this is because his relationship with AJ is the cutest thing ever
Same
Couldn't agree more
Ikr
Lesb0
He keeps her locked up in a cage, that's why you'll never see her return to wrestling.
AJ Lee is his wife. He's a multimillionaire. Win or lose the guy has clearly already won at life.
But he will lose... brain cells
Rusev is the real winner. He's the only one that can machka Lana who is 10 times hotter than Aj.
MAV - IMG you don't even have a wife to begin with, so stfu.
True
MAV - IMG Lana looks like a typical blond. She’s not that hot to me 🤷🏽♀️
Damn I miss seeing Aj Lee every Monday on RAW . 😍😘
Lance Cade i know right
rip lance cade
Perv...
At least he is giving it a try, he is doing something he has never done, knowing he can get knocked out and suffer real damage, what are all these critics on the comment section doing with their lives?
that's what live is all about, getting out your comfort zone and try new things. Best of luck to Cm Punk.
Thank you. preach!!!
that i can respect... he did something most of us wouldn't even dare to do
+jerseysmaniac i would do it. its just the ufc wouldn't sign me
well said bruh.. respect mr.punk
Go Cm Punk !
You have millions in the bank, a hot wife, and you're hanging out with Lars from Rancid. That's a winner in my books.
I seen the trailer to this and had to watch it to make sure it was Lars. It'll be bad ass if he walks out to Rancid
+Untamed7o2 hell yessss. I always imagined I'd want to walk out to Detroit by rancid if I fought.
+LocChokingVMorningG ive got a good feeling about a bad city tonight...
It takes balls to start MMA at 36 years age with the best MMA fighters in the world in the UFC
Balls... or delusions.
+Garrym3k bit of both
Dude especially if you're already rich and famous and in your late 30s..
hahahahaha
or a delusional old man who still trying to prove something to himself at 36
None of you are married to April Brooks so your opinions are invalid.
Neither are you
How fucked is your brain that you actually thought what you said had sound logic behind it?
+Nethir Osman I am in my heart, Matt Damon.
When you quote some use quotation marks...." "
***** I don't believe in them, Matt Damon
I miss AJ LEE and CM PUNK 😭
He is workin his ass off. He deserves the ultimate respect.
i been reading comments and i think people are confused this isnt now this is 2 years ago , its a documentary
2015 is a year ago, we are in 2016
Do you even math bro?
+Diable Jambe barrs hahaha
Still we're in August of 2016, and they show April-May of 2015. So, there is almost 1,5 year difference.
SuperDimson
you have missed out the fact he had surgery so he couldnt train for about 3-4 months of that 1.3 years.
Happy To See AJ Again :,)
Who isn't ;)
Still got the body of a 12 yr old doe :(
+DanBones she still has a better body than you or your ugly mom will ever dream of having so zip it little ugly bitch.
Kate A. Mad bitch!?
body of a 12 year old?! aj has like size C breasts and has a decent sized butt so body of a 12 year old ?no
Howw can u not like this guy.
I know right
I've done this on a very small level. It takes real guts to step in the octagon with a seasoned fighter like Gall, and actually believe at Punk's age and skill level that you have a chance to win.

Finally, one day I rolled my hips and caught him in an arm bar. I know what it is like to go against someone daily (in real full-contact matches) with someone who is truly world-class. Anyone with any sense knows he can't beat a BJJ Brown Belt. Quite frankly, I felt like the loser of the Gall vs Jackson (I think was dude's last name) should've been the one to fight Phil Brooks. I mean, if the other guy was a tomato can, maybe Punk would stand a better chance and you could at the least milk him for a few fights against tomato cans. He would probably still lose a couple fights even to hand-picked tomato cans, but maybe he would get a win in there somewhere. I feel this killed his wrestling career.

But, why would you give Punk a guy that can not just beat him, but beat actual UFC fighters like Sage? They should've given him the easiest fight he could get.
All these people taking shit about Punk but won't even dare step into that cage themselves. He has balls man.
facts
Dude I'm sure more than half these people would get in the cage for the money cm punk is getting payed, shit I'm sure a lot of people would fight for free just for the exposure. stfu.
Stepping in against someone whos trained their whole life when you just started last month isnt brave, its stupid.
A lot of people don't have the recourses to get there id step in the cage for free
I agree they haven't seen punk in the octagon yet they thinks he's gonna be bad because he was a former wrestler. Look at Brock or Dave Bautista, they were wrestlers and both did well in mma
I'm a fan of CM punk !
Me too
I'm a fan of AJ.
AJ is a cutie
+LZ MONEY why are u here then idiot?
I agree I love him and the way he thinks acts and his attitude its inspiring. An also he is so sweet and cute to his wife April and I love her, Aj lee was my favorite diva and always has bin I hate almost all the others ones but not her.
I wish they could have became the power couple that HHH and Stef are now.
14:00, I died. 'Hey, lovebug!' could A.J get any fucking cuter?!
This is a great reality show! Punk seems to have a weird stance when fighting and doesn't really block, but he has a great attitude and can only get better as a fighter. Good luck!
Taiya Hogan uh that’s literally what cutez0r just said
These episodes are in desperate need of being numbered

+dom the dominator lol. I'm not your buddy guy!
+George Vega ok :'( we could have been best buds
+dom the dominator but it's to late to apologize it's tooo late
Unreal amount of respect for this man, changed the WWE for the better, and now he's diving into the mad fucking world of UFC. Wish him the very best.
Aj: Larry help you're mother.....you're not helping
i respect cm punk it takes a man to get in the octagon
I rooter for punk through this whole thing. He clearly respects the sport. And they (still) had to give him a hard time. I automatically loved him cause he's the underdog. He handled this whole thing like a man. He didn't play the blame game. He didn't let no one stop him,
His wife seems adorable. Also incredibly shy, which makes me surprised she liked performing as a wrestler
she is not even shy she is just a introvert ...
+Mediazzzzzz yeah u know she loves it freaky deeky
+sean andrews I would love to know but cm punk knows all about that lol lucky bastard
+Mediazzzzzz haha too right he is
Punk seems like a good dude for a Atheists
who's watching in 2017??
Tejas Sodha 2018 bro
June 9 I will be there
Killah Boi now bro
Not me I’m watching it on 3018
hes doing what every mma fan wish theycould do.
Lol at all these dweebs typing all type of negativity and hate from their parents basement while licking the cheetos of their fingers. At least this guy is stepping up and putting in work everyday to fulfil a goal.
We
Well said*
Lol at all those 'punches' he threw. I wish I could get a ufc fight but I'd have to start from the bottom and earn it. Not like this clown
youssef f Do you need a tampon? simmer down honey lol. I'm not envious. I think its just sad that he's being given so much spotlight when he looks and fights like fucking shit and should be in the prelims, if not in a local comp at least, winning a fight or two first before embarrassing himself.
It's Doritos!! Bunghole...
All jokes aside, I can't help but respect this man for stepping out of his comfort zone and challenging himself on the most dangerous platform in combat sports.
Duke didn’t know at the time that Punk had never seen a Rocky movie when he made the Rocky 3 reference.
17:53
I actually do wonder if he has significantly improved since this was filmed in early 2015. I say that because look at the way they are setting this show up. Two episodes in he looks awful. Horrible.

I was actually looking for this comment.
scrolled way to much to find this comment. You speak the truth, i wanna see how far he's gone aswell. This footarge doesnt show his current skill but what he was year ago.
This was a while ago.. But he had a shoulder injury and back surgery in the meantime,. Wasn't exactly training this whole time. He will get smoked, guaranteed. I respect his balls for doing it, won't change the fact he will fail tho.
"to be successful at anything, U have to be a little bit crazy"...YES!!!
Punk should have stayed in WWE, he's going to get destroyed at 203
So you have no idea why he left WWE then
+Frank Ryding dos it matter what matters is his future which is not looking good lol
+dom the dominator
That's the point. It wasn't exactly looking good in WWE either. Especially considering his health.
And if he gets his ass kicked, he's probably still being paid very well for it. I don't think he even HAS to work again. He already made a ton of money.
+dat boi o shiiiiit whaddup
Being a Arsenal fan you should be more considerate about people trying something, despite failing in the end.
Let's see what he can do.
Aj was really concerned when she said I can't handle this. This just shows their love for each other.
I really miss wwe aj :(
He's definitely better now, at this point he was not good he couldn't sprawl or defend a choke or strike at all, but he's been steadily developing, and now that he's developed into someone better who has proper knowledge of what a fight really truly entails, he has a chance.

I'm scared for his life
I like him but at his age i think he's gonna get pretty badly hurt. Hopefully not too badly.
Me too. After watching these videos I really wish he would've gotten some amateur or low-level MMA fights first. Stepping right into the UFC is a very tall order and I'm afriad Mr. Punk can't fill it. He seems like a nice guy. I hope he doesn't get hurt.
This documentary thing is from 2 years ago so I mean... He probably got a lot better
he'll go against someone bad.....
That's Kurt Cobain's telacaster in your profile pic. I know my Nirvana.
CM Punk - WWE superstar
AJ Lee - WWE Best diva
Larry 🐶 - peeing champion
In my memories....
Miss you both, (Aj nd Cm) you were best entertainer in WWE.
Phillip Brooks will prove lots wrong.
I sure hope so!
please, watch other lower ranked WW's
He will prove that he can take an ass whipping and that's about it.
So, let's recap what the fuck happened. Punk got taken down, ground n pounded, raped from the back and choke out in the first half of the first round by the literal munchkin of the UFC. Mkay? As long as you understand.
***** He's done lots of proving. What will he prove next, aliens on mars?
this is very inspirational. heck, i can't bust a grape LOL good luck CM!
sorry punk but I only watch because Aj lee was in it I miss her
Was that Lars from Rancid in the beginning!!
Him and Punk are best friends
Whhhat? Cool :)
From an Australian, There is a guy called Jarryd Hayne who wasn't challenged by the sport he was playing anymore and he always wanted to have a crack at NFL. Instead of calling him a pretender and an idiot almost everyone supported his motivation and willingness to try something new. He put in a huge effort and made some progress but now he is back in rugby league. He didn't quite make it but everyone still admires him for following his dream. CM Punk is almost the exact same scenario so congratulations to him and good luck! Personally i really hope he shuts all the doubters up
The background music in this is frggn awesome!
It's brutal that Punk undeniably worked his ass off at one of the best MMA camps in the world and still got slapped in 2mins by Gall. Really puts into perspective how many decades it takes to even be a mid tier MMA athlete.
So we gonna make this a reality show now?
So Punk actually fighting at some point will seem as close to reality as possible.
wow. they are trying hard to get the reality show zombies and 13 year old idiot kids.
lol how did they happen to have dana's and cum punk phone calls recorded... fuckin bullshit shows. show the guy training for 5 min and the oddsmakers will show what they think
Why not? The UFC is a business and they are promoting the fight. I, personally, have enjoyed the insight into who CM Punk is, and where is mindset is for this challenge. Win or lose, the guy is a stand up guy.
He's fighting in like 2 weeks
He fights in 17 days lol
He better do that clobbering time thing when he walks to the octagon.
This little series has given me a lot of respect for anyone that fights. Punk is a good athlete, excellent cardio, reasonably strong and semi versed in jui jitsu. This Craig fella with only 8 fights absolutely schools him. Goes to show a great athlete doesn't make a great fighter.
I've always been a fan of Punk. I fully support him on his journey to become a UFC fighter. Wins or gets destroyed, It will never change my support for him.
i'm a big fan of CM Punk & i like that he represents Chicago, but he's going to get his ass whooped. he doesn't look like he hits hard and is always taken down. i hope im wrong tho
You weren't wrong.
cm punk is my role model he's the reason why I do mma
Punk's striking looks awful, hope he has gotten better.
Same
Then he got injured, bad striking with a shoulder injury of all places. How can he damage someone with those already weak punches plus a fucked up shoulder?
he probably will lose his first fight then people will have a negative reaction to that and then be the underdog in almost every fight
True. It a lot of this footage is from a while ago though I think.
He needs a proper boxing coach to work on his striking, how can they compliment him while he was throwing awful punches? I hope he gets better trainers.
His friend over there cracking his knuckles like he wants some 🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loving these episodes. Can't wait for the next one.
i don't want cm punk in UFC but i really want cm punk in wwe.we miss you punk
Im sorry lol but that uppercut at 1:53 they keep showing in every video for some fucking reason just makes me laugh so much lmao
fk sake, u make me watch it and i fucking laughed too XD
This! Holy shit!
He does the same shitty uppercut in the last sparring session of this video ahahahahaha
i don't know much about him, but does he have some injuries?
+McZerotail Yea, unfortunately they've stuck with him from his pro wrestling days.
Punk is a good guy.
This reminds me of my prep for my first amateur fight. Good times, you learn so much as ap erson when you push yourself to your physical limit. It's almost like it makes you feel reborn.
As him trying to fight in UFC shows *A Little Bit Crazy* is an understatement :-)
By no way Punk can compete against the best in UFC. But he is crazy for sure :)
Where are the captions?! First episode have captions, not this. Fix it up for those deaf people out there!
Dana just sold UFC for billions but is still too cheap to upgrade his iPhone 5.
its his black line
To be fair, the Fertittas got most of that. Also, you don't get rich by spending money on stupid shit.
dana has a 10% share, he was probably paid about 270 million.
this was 2 years ago wasnt it? Surely the 5s was the newst one?
+Jesse Tribley 440 million
Some people just don’t have the natural ability to fight and strike it takes a while to learn and get good give him like 4 years he’ll be better
cm punk stand up was hella fire bro
The UFC is pushing hard to promote him. If he doesn't win his first fight he might not get another. He doesn't have the skills or fan base Lesnar had.
Lesnar wasn't that good in the beginning either. His only advantage was his natural size, speed, and his freakish strength. Punk doesn't have those advantages. At all. I hope Punk does well, but... he did not look good. At all.
Michael Vin Brock was a div 1 national champion, so he had a great wrestling base. Punk isn't close to that. That's why it is taking so long for his first fight. He needs a lot of training. Plus, Brock fought Frank his first fight and he was a lot tougher opponent than what Punk is facing.
Lesnar had no skills.He was just a big,strong wrestler who was also on steroids.He had no stand up,he was also not good at taking a shot.He got a title shot after two fights,one of which he lost.He was/is a joke.Punk might not win his debut fight but I think he will bring more to the table than Lesnar did.I could be wrong though.
he has a bigger one because social media is the way it is today
Yeah Lesnar had no experience no ncaa collegiate championship he didn't go 43-0 in college wresting matches never even happened hah
For those who say Pro Wrestling is real here is the prove it's not CM Punk had to train from the basics. John Cena won't last 1 round in the Octagon.. Much respect to CM Punk for transitioning into the real deal.
Who says pro wrestling is real? Homer Simpson?
Apparently a lot of WWE fans :D
WTF is ur pro pic?? Thala Thakkali dawwww
you obviously don't understand pro wrestling
+JackRaj you do know a lot of ufc fans watch wwe? It's like watching boxing and rocky films. It's obvious one is a sport and one is entertainment and you can still enjoy both for what they are.
CM Punk has nearly completed his evolution into a guy that's going to get fucking wrecked in his first pro mma bout.
After seeing these vids, I have to agree. He going to get murdered.
I understand that this footage was shot a year ago, but there is only so much improvement a guy in his late 30's can make in that amount of time. From the film I saw here, I am confident that I could have wrecked CM Punk in a boxing or kickboxing fight, and maybe even in mma (and I've never trained grappling btw) when they shot this. I am by no means an advanced striker, I would hardly call myself decent, but CM Punk is terrible, just terrible. He seems like a pretty cool guy, I really hope he gets his shit together enough to at least avoid utter humiliation.
these videos are 1.5 years ago.
I'm aware, read my second comment.
This is similar to a guy who has never played baseball trying to succeed in the major leagues after practicing for a few months. He will get knocked out or submitted in the first round.
This is a great show. He has a long way to go. But the fact that he knows where he stands and still goes out there to train everyday to get better is something. Something inspirational about it.
I'm rooting for this cat, beautiful to see someone embrace vulnerability and progress.
Punk always seems so gloomy, lighten up man, you've already won, win lose or draw, you're doing what you wanna do, that's awesome
UFC fans im warning you, you don't know what your dealing with. You think Diaz and McGregor fanboys are bad? CM Punk fanboys are probably the worst group of fans in the history of the Internet. If CM Punk manages to win, this channel is finished. The trolling will be unstoppable.
CM Punk Troll Commander of Squad 7th waiting for are king CM Punk to get his Well deserved UFC belt so we can spread like wildfire
you are a prophet. You are the voice to deaf ears. The fan boys will come...they will be unstoppable. Run, RUN!!!!!!!!!
The punk is coming
They couldn't even give him a legit ufc fighter to go up against because they knew he'd get slaughtered.
Of course its called business
Ground game is so tough to pick up with very little experience. Its takes a year of training just to get decent at it...Brock almost got his leg snapped by Mir. Thats what i think is gonna happen with Punk or a armbar
Well at this point he will have been training for 1.5 years, but as someone who trains ju jitsu i agree with you that it's the slowest martial art to get good at.
+Turbotundra but he got injured so not 1.5 yyear
I agree... Except that I think he's going to eat the first two or three big shots Gall throws and then get taken out on a stretcher. Poor guy has no head movement and a neck made from a Slinky, and all these guys were going what looked like 25% so they didn't hurt him in front of the cameras.
Never actually heard of the guy until this, rooting for him so much.
Thanks for the upload!
CM Punk is gonna get punked out lol
Rory McDonald signed with Bellator and UFC removed him form the Ranking
+Hanad Casanova I'm not surprised
dom the dominator
U will be surprised when cowboy signs too!!
Excited to smoke these Bellator bums
The rankings are not 100% but overall they are pretty good.
And for an even more controversial opinion i really like Dana White and his way of running the UFC :)
No matter how much/hard he trains, he will not be at the level necessary to compete in the UFC for quite some time. He really needs experience in order to truly develop his skill set. For crying out loud, does he even know how to wrestle? Thank goodness the fight will not be a PPV ticket.
It's on a pay per view
It's on PPV, UFC 203 you dumb fucking shmuck. Your username says a lot bout u
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It was on ppv alright! HAHAHAHAHA!
i definitely respect him. takes balls
ground game weak af tho
No ones perfect...
Out of shape.
Lack of skills.
May or may not get destroyed.
May or may not destroy the opponent.
Despite everything.
Phil Brooks has a massive heart and he is going for it.
Respect.
They almost had me with the other episodes , but this is going to be dangerous for him..He doesn't have a lot of athletic ability. His sprawls look like someone that has never even been in a street fight!...I wish him the best, but I feel like he has an explosive young man ahead of him..He doesn't have any explosion to him at all!
She ordered her steak well done?! UGH!!! He's going to lose
He can't be getting hit on the face like that Mickey gall has that knock out power
than why does he have more submission victorys?
+Killer201227 coz he's not trying to knock Punk out. He knows its a Sparring match
I'm not a fighter but I'm pretty sure they don't fight at 100% when they're sparring. I don't think anyone's getting knocked out.
*That's alot of pee... damn.. ✅😂*
he was one of the reason i was stick up with WWE. Plz come back
I just love❤️ punk and I can’t see him getting beaten so badly .... sometime in life hard work doesn’t pay off but this guy ...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻u are amazing
Got tapped with a keylock, now there's a beginner for ya
this was filmed more than a year ago, and he was literally a beginner in every way..
exactly, it says it right at the beginning he's only been doing it for 2 months at this point, they are showing this footage now to hype the fight cause every UFC fan wants this guy to get destroyed. he will still lose though but he'll look at better than this.
You don't become a pro in a year
+Juan Pablo Viteri if you believe on yourself than you can hes not good but he believes in him self
Believing is not enough
Who the fuck orders a Steak well done ?
Medium well
Medium Rare baby tried it never turned back.
Once you try medium rare you'll never go back
In Portugal, a "medium rare" steak is crispy
I did once and got a burned turd... I was a noob...
I feel in my gut he gonna win but anything goes
I want him to win but I don't think he will
Fucking respect.
It was crazy watching Duke teach him on the bag, the literal improvement with his punches. Great 3rd spar too.
It's cool to see Punk happy with both his personal level life and his career choice 👊🏻👌🏼
if brock can do it he can
Brock was a great amateur wrestler first.
Brock's a freak of nature who's 99% steroids.
+llwayneio oh so you were there when he injected steriods ?
Ren's Space Would I have to be? Don't be naive, you only have to look at Brock to know he's taken steroids. That and the failed drug tests.
Brock had juice on his side
Had to turn it off when I found out he eats his steak "well done".
he doesn't...
if the steak ain't black send it back
+Bill Vayne I don't believe in God either. It's hard to picture grown adults having imaginary friends
His wife ate the steak well done. He LITERALLY said I want the steak barely cooked.
You obviously didn't listen then.
12% body fat??? Pretty sure it looks like 15 to 16 percent for sure.
If you want to be succeed you have to be ALL IN.
- CM Punk
I see an adidas sponsorship in the future😂😂
Not everyone is like Lesnar..but being a huge fan of punk I wish he will achieve success and fullfill his dreams...and btw..AJ is too hot!
I really Hope this footage old and he will be kinda ready to fight I don't get why y'all wanna see a guy doing bad just cause he wants to live his dream. Realistically he's gonna lose I just hope he at least looks like he has a chance
Very old footage, from before his injury
Bruh it says the dates this was over a year ago
Lol, it actually says when the dates are before the clips. This stuff so far is from over a year ago.
He was looking like this before he had back surgery and shoulder injury. He couldn't have gotten much better.
+Joe Finlay yeah because surgeries tend to be done to make things worse not fix existing problems.
19:08 Man.. He was getting rocked with sparing punches. A couple almost put him down. This isn't looking good.
From a 4-2
5:54 - AJ with that 12" waist
It's hard not to respect Punk when he's released footage of him getting tapped out and finding it difficult to beat his sparring opponents and still he's not backing down from challenging at Welterweight! I hope he does well
I've been watching fighting for like 30 years now and I've never been
so sure about something in my life than i am that Punk will get a title
shot and go on a win streak. One reason is Dana loves this guy. They're
like best friends and Dana would give anything to see him matched up
with a champion regardless if he deserves it or not. So all Punk has to
do is win a few fucking fights. He doesnt have to be great in all areas
just submit a couple fighters and he's right there.
hes in the most dangerous division full of monsters and hes 37 so hes not gonna win no ufc belt
Clearly, 30 years of watching fights hasn't taught you very much, bro! Lol
