Former pro wrestler CM Punk is expected to make his Octagon debut in the coming months after more than a year of training to be a professional UFC fighter.
Ahead of his first bout, Punk noted he expects fans to be disappointed for all the right reasons, per "The Head Line" and MMAMania.com:
"I expect people to be disappointed," Punk said. "I expect all those people that think I'm going to get knocked out in 10 seconds to be disappointed. I expect people to bet against me and lose their money. I expect people to get divorced because they're upset that their wife wanted me to win and they wanted me to lose, you know?"
Already playing a bit as a bad guy, Punk's personality will shine through in the months leading up to his debut, which is expected to be against 23-year-old Mickey Gall at UFC 199 or UFC 200. Gall (1-0) will face off against Michael Jackson at UFC 196, and if he wins, he'll likely have the opportunity for quite the pay day early in his pro career.
