10 Things We Learned From CM Punk On UFC Unfiltered
5. Weight Cutting & Regrets
Jim asks Punk about his first approach to weight cutting and how he's dealt with those challenges. Is it something he's looking ahead to or is he waiting until closer to fight time to address it?
Punk responds that he's not super concerned about it as of right now and considers himself to be in great shape, hovering around 190 pounds. He thinks he'll be able to cut to 170 fairly easily when it comes time to do so.
Norton also wants to know if he's ever questioned this decision, and Punk says absolutely not, and adds that he'd probably still be walking around with a herniated disc in his back if the UFC doctors hadn't caught it.
He jokes sometimes that he wishes he wasn't pursuing this because he'd love to sit down and eat an entire pizza, but there's never been a moment where he's taken a high kick or gotten punched too hard and thought "what am I doing?".
