It looks like CM Punk fans will have to wait for his debut in the Octagon.
This is according to Punk’s coach Duke Roufus and ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.
Reports are saying that CM Punk sustained a shoulder injury recently in training. It is said to be a “tweak,” and happened during a grappling exchange. Punk will see a doctor on October 14 and could be cleared to return.
“He got caught in a scramble, so right now he’s taking a little time off,” Roufus told ESPN.
“He was doing great before that. His progress has been good. He’s got a great attitude and he’s a hard worker. Our biggest thing is we want him to 101 percent. We don’t have a hard date for his fight to force the issue, so making sure he’s completely healthy is possible.”
“He’s about at 50 percent,” Roufus said. “But that being said, remember that my 100 percent is a very well-prepared person. The UFC will probably book him a fight three to four months in advancem a guy of his magnitude. We’re probably looking at a fight in the next six to 10 months.”
