7. He Appreciates That It's The Fan Following That Has Taken Him Here
Says CM Punk about his fans;
"I understand that I have this gigantic fan base from almost a different life. And it would be foolish to ignore that. So, I accept it. Id be crazy to think I could ignore and turn my back on it."
Given a lot of people have felt that Punk turned his back on wrestling fans to an extent in the way he ended things with the WWE (though things work both ways, and there's no excusing his firing on his wedding day), this is probably a step in the right direction. Punk is at the very least saying all the right things in this case. And lets be honest - CM Punk does not get signed by the UFC at this stage of his life without the wrestling world.
