9 Predictions For CM Punk's Debut At UFC 203
2. Punk Will Take At Least One More Fight If He Survives Unscathed
Win or lose, barring serious injury, you can expect to see CM Punk in the octagon again. Punk is simply too proud a guy to not give this a real shot, and he has been consistent over the months about fighting out his UFC contract.
It's not a money thing - Punk could no doubt live off his wrestling earnings and supplement that with some comic book ventures and public appearances. No, for Punk, this is about testing himself. He'll want to pick up the pieces if he loses and give it another go. Say what you want about how he left the WWE, but it's not as if he quit at the first sign of hardship. Punk has never really come off as a quitter.
So, you'll see at least one more CM Punk fight in the UFC if he wins, or if he loses in respectable fashion. If he gets completely outclassed, the UFC may have no choice but to cut him to avoid backlash, and if he gets hurt, the decision may be made for him.
