- C/D: CM Punk going the distance in the UFC makes his MMA career a success
|
Don't see why (almost) everyone wants him to quit and give up already. Does everyone else give up a dream after two tries? I mean I get he got his ass kicked but why give up so soon, what if he did that with wrestling. Obviously things like this take time and practice. I personally hope he keeps going until he's satisfied.

Dana White was furious at Jackson for not ending it sooner.
Punk did NOT go the distance. |

Obviously things like this take time and practice. And youth, lol. He's an old man in a young man's sport. He doesn't need time... he needs LESS of it.
It's "Hahaha". Not "Bahaha" or "Bwahaha". You're not a pirate or a moustache twirling villain. You're a human. Laugh like one.

Dana White was furious at Jackson for not ending it sooner. And the sad thing is while Jackson does have a boxing background, he doesn't even consider himself an MMA fighter. They asked Jackson what's next for him and he said he's going back to journalism lmao.

Mikey Gall finishing him in 2 minutes was a service to Punk. At least there was a small doubt that "well, we didn't see what he can do". We saw what he can do now, and none of it was good.

I just saw an interview where Punk said something to the effect of "I trust my camp. I don't think that they'd tell me if I was improving if I wasn't." I wanted to believe that was the case too, but Duke Roufus is exposed as a money grubbing piece of crap. Pat Barry and Thug Rose tried to warn us about him, but this only further proves their point.

I personally hope he keeps going until he's satisfied. Nobody wants him to quit. But it's like if someone started to learn how to play baseball by being drafted into the major leagues. Punk hasn't deserved to fight in the UFC and he sure as hell hasn't shown it. He is no natural. And he's even kinda snotty about competing at a small time level. Even if Dana is serious about him not being with the UFC anymore, Punk will just roll over to another major promotion. Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, Batista, and numerous others started at a smaller level even though they had starpower. |

There is no moral victory from getting clowned for 3 rounds by a photographer unless his name was Peter Parker.

He needs new trainers and a new camp. I didn’t see any kind of gameplan. Nothing seemed to play to his strengths (if any). And he fought at a weight class so low that he looked like a cancer patient at the weigh in. Cutting 20 lbs for a fight is not good for you.

I personally hope he keeps going until he's satisfied. He's 39 with no athletic background and no natural aptitude for fighting. At the rate he's shown his learning curve to be, by the time he becomes a capable fighter he will be 50. How much damage can a middle aged persons head take? What is it doing to his brain? What is it doing to him mentally and emotionally? I like punk, I don't want to see him become broken. Train in martial arts the right way, earn belts, cross train with various styles but please, don't fight in a mixed martial arts arena anymore.

Cutting weight like that weakens your body a lot. On top of that, MMA offers so many tools where technique can make up for size.

Punk is like 5'11 and doesnt have a lot of musle. 170 doesn't seem like drastic weight for him. Sounds about right 20 lbs is a lot. He was walking around at 190 when wrestling and that was after cutting weight. He got up to 220 when he debuted. He’s really not a small guy in terms of frame. His face looked super haggard in the weigh ins. I for one hate how weight cutting entered UFC. It didn’t used to be such a part.

He doesn't have the frame for it. We're talking builds like Whittaker, Rockhold, Weidman, Gastelum, etc. The extra weight he carried when he came into the WWE would not transition well into UFC. He'd gas after touching gloves. |

Punk really doesn't have the muscle to be pulling off an optimal 220. He didn't look terrible, but it was clearly a lot of body fat |

We are talking a guy fighting a can though. I dunno a guy who walks around 190 cutting 21 lbs isn’t a wise thing. And like I said I hate weight cutting. It needs to be banned from all sports.

I think you hate it so much it might be clouding your judgment. There isn't really anything so abnormal about a fighter cutting 20lbs |

None of that changes the fact that these fighters regularly cut the same amount of weight that you're claiming is insane Punk has no experience doing it. And actual pro fighters have had sub par outings because of cutting weight. It’s unhealthy and doesn’t help anyone because when everyone does it no one gets a real advantage.

Just cause it's a dream doesn't mean it's a feasible one.

He seems happy so i guess it's successful in his opinion.

instead of weight, why not just match fighters up by height
then let them pack on and become as strong as possible in their body frames? |

He may have technically failed but to Punk, he was successful. And I respect that. He has such a healthy and positive outlook on this in spite of all the negativity (not to mention Jackson's showboating) that I can't help but be happy for him.

You won't always win in life and it's good to be able to accept that and not dwell on it.
