15. UFC Will Be Using Him Heavily In Promotion And Speaking
Less than 48 hours after Robbie Lawler defeated Johny Hendricks for the UFC Welterweight Championship, and what's the main feature on UFC.com? You'd think maybe the new champ, but no, it's CM Punk. Get used to it. UFC signed CM Punk because of the brand name he has, so they're going to exploit this in whatever way they can. Expect to see Punk popping up in studio programmes and other speaking engagements. It'll enhance his own status with MMA fans, and hopefully get WWE fans to tune in for UFC show. He's a hell of a speaker, displaying true magnetism and charisma, so hopefully other MMA fighters will learn a thing or two. In terms of his likeness being used, of course they are going to have this guy on event posters and other merchandise. He's CM Punk - a real life superhero!
