8 Things You Need To Know About CM Punk's UFC Contract
3. Dana White Is Not Throwing Him To The Sharks
According to Dana White, CM Punk will not be treated the same as Brock Lesnar was - and for good reason. Lesnar is and was a legit monster, a guy who won at the top levels of collegiate wrestling, who nearly made the NFL with zero football experience (he turned down a chance to play in the league's European branch), and who won a pro MMA fight outside of the UFC prior to signing with the promotion. Now take Punk: no fight experience at any level outside the gym. No college background. Per White, he'll get someone who is just starting out as well. It's not like Brock Lesnar. We're not going to throw the kitchen sink at him. Lesnar had a wrestling background. is going to fight a guy who is 1-0, 1-1, 2-1 something like that."
