Seth Rollins recently threw a wild challenge into the universesuggesting hed be open to fighting CM Punk in an MMA bout if UFCs Dana White was willing to book it. And now, CM Punk has answeredand hes not holding back.
While speaking on The Ringer Wrestling Show, The Second City Saint made it clear that hes more than ready to test Rollins, even if its not in a cagebecause he plans to start the beatdown this Saturday at WrestleMania 41.
Look, imma punch this motherf**ker in the face on Saturday, Punk said. Hes talking about wanting to do an MMA fight. Well, alright, Ill see you Saturday, kid.
Punks response comes after Rollins told Outta Pocket with RGIII that hed be willing to step into the octagon with Punksaying it would be his first and only MMA fight, and joking that Dana White could cash in on the crossover. Rollins admitted he wouldnt fight just anybody in his weight class, but for Punk, hed put the gloves on.
Despite Rollins MMA inexperience, Punk doesnt seem worriednor does he care that his own UFC record isnt much to brag about. In fact, he loves being doubted. And when it comes to their showdown at WrestleMania 41, Punk made it crystal clear that Rollins is in for a world of pain.
With WWE and UFC now under the same corporate umbrella, the idea of a Punk vs. Rollins fight outside the ring might not be that far-fetched. But first, theyll meet in the ring in a triple threat match that also includes Roman Reigns.
Would you actually want to see CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins in an MMA fight? Or should they keep it inside the squared circle? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
