    Thompson by Decision
    ''the audacity of him thinking he can come from fake wrestling to mma?''

    To be honest it downgrades the sport. Everyone else in the UFC would have spent years training in combat sports, gone through amateur and professional ranks in low then higher level organisations. Only after impressive runs of fights are fighters offered low level or entry level contracts in the UFC. Many fighters would have sacrificed a huge portion of their lives to get to that point.

    CM Punk has done none of these things, really he is a celebrity with an interest in MMA. He was signed to a lucrative contract in the worlds premire MMA organisation, it makes about as much sense as if he was signed to play for the LA Lakers because he enjoys playing basketball in his free time and his pretty decent for backyard player, but has never played a competitive game in his life.

    Ive never even heard of CM Punk until the recent ufc association but listening to a few interviews with him he speaks so well. Very reasoned respectful speaker. Yet I sense there is a lot of hate against him, whats with that?.
    Does it stem from ''the audacity of him thinking he can come from fake wrestling to mma?''

    Have a look at his Twitter page. You see less of the reasoned professional and a lot more of the whiney teenager.

    Exactly. I never heard of him before UFC But anytime i see one of his tweets retweeted, he is always a moany ***** like when he was announced he will be in the new UFC game, he said something like 'can't wait to see what the butthurt dummies think about this'. I get he is hated and why he is hated but he's doing nothing to try win people over.
