CM Punk’s Debut UFC Fight Likely Not Happening Until 2016

September 4, 2015

cm punk UFC held its “Go Big” launch event this past Friday night, during which the MMA promotion announced its schedule for the remainder of the year. It should be noted that CM Punk’s name was not mentioned at all during the event.

UFC announced the main events and co-main events for the remainder of its PPV’s this year, and CM Punk was not mentioned, so while Punk has said in the past he was aiming for a December 2015 debut, it appears he won’t be fighting until next year at the earliest.

Punk has also said in the past that he wanted to get about a year’s worth of training under his belt before fighting, so the beginning part of next year seems more feasible for his debut bout in UFC.
