CM Punk has chosen Roufusport for his MMA training team. Roufusport is home to Ben Askren, Alan Belcher and Anthony Pettis, among others.
According to Front Row Brian (a legit MMA reporter), Punk will begin training on January 5th.

Punk has a lot to learn. @Benaskren is one of the top wrestling coaches in the world. Duke one of the top striking. Perfect fit.

And Milwaukee is what? 90 miles from Chicago? Punk can drive ip in the AM. Workout. Rest. Do another workout. Drive home. Repeat.

It's all coming together. Would make perfect sense for Brock Lesnar to join Duke's camp when he returns. Lesnar Punk teammates?

As noted in the past, CM Punk is expected to make his UFC debut in late 2015. There was some speculation that he would debut on the promotion’s big event in July, however most assume that it will be too early for Punk to actually fight at that point, and that his debut will come later in the year.
On a related note, Punk is scheduled to host a live UFC Fight Club Q&A at the UFC 182 weigh-ins on January 2nd at the Marquee Ballroom at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
