6 Fighters Who Have Called Out CM Punk

6. Colby Covington

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZEohH1qgSo Colby Covington is a UFC fighter, former roommate of Jon Jones, and a two-time All American wrestler in college. And if you haven't heard of him, don't feel bad: at 2-0 in the UFC and really just starting out, he's not exactly a household name. Maybe that's why he opted to call out CM Punk when the news of his signing with the UFC was announced. Covington had already been making headlines not by winning fights, but by telling "good old days" stories about Jon Jones, so the tactic of name dropping is nothing new to him. Regarding Punk, he had the following to say on Twitter;
Let's dance @TeamCMPunk I always wanted to whoop a fake wrestlers ass anyway. @ufc@danawhite#reelwrasslin
The fake wrestling theme seems to be a common point of contention for many fighters with amateur wrestling backgrounds.
