More Details Behind CM Punk Appearing on UFC TV

We previously reported that WWE Champion CM Punk will be appearing at the 1/28 UFC event on FOX 2, escorting Chael Sonnen to the octagon for his fight.

PWInsider.com is now reporting that this was not a deal made between WWE and UFC, but rather Punk asked for the night off from WWE so that he could appear at the event, which takes place in his hometown of Chicago.
