Punk has jokingly said he might just get his ass kicked in all this. Which is good for a laugh, and keeps things light, but fans want to know: Does he really think he can walk into the UFC with zero fight experience and win an MMA bout? Punk has talked about making this his career for the next several years, into his forties. Does he really think he can make it that long? A lot of fighters, as is the case in many pro sports, retire in their 30s. It's not pro wrestling, where talent can be protected to an extent and make it into their 50s (Undertaker, Sting, Hogan). Opponents aren't going to take it easy on you the way guys have protected Hogan's back over the years.
