CM Punk Vs Mike Jackson

Wow... look at you guys. Show Punk some respect for going in there and being professional about all this. He gave it his best shot, and he lasted three rounds while taking quite a beating... Although, if I lost respect for anyone it's Jackson for toying and showboating. I stopped enjoying the fight by the 2nd round which is when I immediately knew how it would end, and I just wanted it to be over... after the 2nd round it was just painful to watch.

I don't respect overconfidence. This is a cocky, overconfident jackass who somehow found that being in the WWE as a top card guy somehow made him a legit badass in real life who could take out more experienced fighters much younger than him. He was way in over his head.

Well regardless of whether or not you believe he was just overconfident or not. I believe he knew the risk he was taking by stepping in there with professionals, and why do some of you keep bringing up his age? Yoel Romero who just won fight of the night is 41 years old. I agree that MMA is probably not the best sport for him, but I commend him for giving it a try, and taking the risks that he did.

Risks? He may suffer a little embarrassment, but he's coming home with more money than we could ever dream of. It doesn't take balls to accept over a million dollars and be given two years of training to fight a bunch of amateurs. I'd fight mike Tyson in his prime for half that.

Commend him all you wish. It doesn't change the fact that he went out there and embarrassed himself twice. It doesn't change the fact that there is no moral victory here. He's ruining his name and reputation, his ego is probably extremely hurt by this. Also age definitely plays a role and your comparison to Yoel is foolish. When you're in your 40s you will lose some of the energy and vigor you had in your 20s. Yoel Romero is in far better physical shape than CM Punk and probably works out a lot more. You can't compare 2 people just because they're a similar age.

Lol @ these guys roasting Punk and calling him untalented.



He shouldn't fight again in the UFC. He's an amateur and not gifted athletically. He should have never stepped into the octagon.

Umm. Now you're just throwing strawmen. First of all, he wasn't planning to make a career in MMA--he just wanted a couple of fights to challenge himself. I mean..sure if he started training at a younger age he would have done better, but age isn't a reason one shouldn't compete and follow their dreams. I do agree that his fight with Mickey was a mistake tho.

Addie, I have to side with Novelty on this. All CM Punk did was basically prove to the world that he can't actually fight for real. All this "he's just trying something new", "he's brave!" rhetoric is just an attempt to mask the reality that he failed to prove with actions that he's a real life tough guy, and not just a tough guy on a screen. He's still getting paid millions of dollars though so at least he has that, but he effectively destroyed his own ego and legacy. He's become a joke in the fighting world.

To me Punk now comes across as a fake tough guy. All talk, and way too much confidence. He practiced jujitsu as a hobby. Then all the sudden he thought he could actually compete with UFC level fighters? I'm sorry but I don't like misplaced arrogance. I remember hearing him in an interview saying he could beat Batista in a shoot. lol Thats bullshit. Dave trained MMA for a couple years and is clearly the much bigger and stronger guy. When he said that I knew he was all talk.

People act like Brock was the best but they forgot how he got mauled by Cain and Overeem.

He was even an amateur wrestler before being a professional wrestler, don't forget that. CM Punk was nothing before professional wrestling.
