Throughout the entire first fight on the UFC 181 pay-per-view, UFC play-by-play announcer Mike Goldberg teased a “major announcement from Joe Rogan that you do NOT want to miss.”
When the first fight was over, we shot live to cage-side where Rogan was with — “The Best in the World.”
That’s right, folks. CM Punk was with Rogan and the announcement was that Punk has signed with the UFC. He has signed a multi-fight contract and will be debuting in the near future. CM Punk said his debut would be at some point in 2015 and it was “all systems go” after it had been officially announced tonight.
It was mentioned that Punk might be fighting in the UFC’s Middleweight (185 pounds) division.
