8 Things We Learned From CM Punk's Sports Illustrated Appearance

4. He Wishes He Had Made The Switch Sooner

CM Punk has talked a lot about the travel schedule of the WWE over the years, and he seems to be very happy with the relatively short drive to Rousfusport. It's 90 minutes for him, and he gets to sleep in his own bed at night. So it's not exactly a surprise to see him bring it up, but it is a surprise to see him basically suggest he wished he'd have forgone much of his wrestling career to do MMA. When asked about making the jump sooner, his response was that he thinks of it "Every day. Damn it, why didn't I do this ten years ago?" Wisely, though, he stated he doesn't let it get to him. Which is good for his focus in training at least.
