WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new article at FoxSports.com looking at CM Punk’s signing with the UFC. Titled “Dana White’s signing of CM Punk to UFC is a no-brainer,” the article obviously takes a positive spin on the news.
Ross said, “White’s signing of Punk is nothing short of promotional genius. It’s a no-lose situation. Punk brings with him immense name identity globally via WWE and his main event visibility there for the past several years. When one’s former company — WWE — is in more than 150 countries in multiple languages, then one of their top and most popular stars is going to be known around the world, which makes Punk a highly marketable fighter … at worst, one time…I’d surmise that Punk, a longtime MMA aficionado of the genre who has trained in Muay Thai and in Gracie Jiu-jitsu, has his training documented on FOX TV and via all UFC platforms. Fans will make an emotional investment in the Chicago-born fighter who was never supposed to become a WWE Superstar but overcame the odds working his way through the indie wrestling world to finally arrive at the top of the food chain in WWE.”
