10 Reasons CM Punk Might Actually Succeed In UFC
10. Experience In The Limelight

Octagon jitters may not be a factor for CM Punk. Sure, the pressure will be on him - but he's fought in front of huge crowds, crowds that are, in fact, bigger than what most UFC fighters have ever experienced. Wrestlemania dwarfs the largest show the UFC puts on each year.
So while there will be pressure to perform well, the fans in the stands, whether they love him or hate him, shouldn't be an issue for CM Punk. He's heard it all before, and then some.
Removing that sort of a distraction makes his debut fight that much easier.
