CM Punk will have no shortage of potential opponents to choose from. In addition to Michael Bisping calling out Punk on Twitter following his UFC signing, the former WWE star has found himself called out by Derek Brunson and Cathal Pendred. The two posted the following to their Twitter accounts:
I want @CMPunk next #UFC
I wouldn't be the first Irishman to stomp @CMPunk.

Of course, neither of these guys are particularly likely to face Punk. Pendral is 2-0 in his UFC career (and 15-2-1 overall) while Brunson is 12-3 (3-1 in the UFC). Dana White has already said that Punk will not be facing people above his level right away and is “going to fight a guy who is 1-0, 1-1, 2-1 — something like that.”
