UFC President Dana White noted that CM Punk will be in attendance at tonight's UFC event and that he's going to be speak to Punk about potentially working with the flagship MMA promotion.
While appearing on The Jim Rome Show, MMAJunkie.com quotes White as saying:
"He left the WWE for whatever reason, he's a huge fan of the UFC, he's been training for a few years now, and he's interested in fighting. I'm interested in talking to him. CM Punk is coming to the show this weekend, and we're going to talk. You never know (if he can fight) until you get in there. I didn't know if Brock could fight. I thought Brock was crazy for coming over here. But, the difference with Brock Lesnar is Brock was a world-class wrestler. I don't know. We'll see. He's not a guy that we would do what we did with Brock; we threw Brock right to the wolves. Brock started fighting all the top heavyweights in the world because of his wrestling background. CM Punk, we would bring him in just like any regular fighter, and he would fight a guy with a similar record to his, which is 0-0."
