What's the story?
He took the world of sports entertainment by storm. He did not have quite the same luck in Mixed Martial Arts, losing both of his UFC fights.
But now, CM Punk has landed himself a brand new gig as a commentator for Cage Fury Fighting Championships or CFFC. Punk will be calling the promotion's first event on UFC Fight Pass, on December 14, 2018.
In case you didn't know...
CM Punk is perhaps the best known WWE Superstar of the modern era, who shot to super-stardom after delivering his infamous pipe bomb promo. He walked away from the company and the business of professional wrestling, because of health reasons and not seeing eye to eye with WWE.
Punk tried his hand at MMA but did not attain much success. He lost to Mickey Gall in his debut fight at UFC 203. He went on to lose to Mike Jackson at UFC 226 as well.
The heart of the matter
Punk seemed thrilled at the opportunity to begin the next chapter of his life. He had the following to say regarding the big announcement:
"I can’t wait for this opportunity to call the CFFC fights on UFC Fight Pass. CFFC has a long history of putting on exciting fights featuring some of the sport’s up-and-coming athletes. This card is going to be a lot of fun and I’m really excited to have the chance to be a part of it."
Punk will be joined by veteran play by play commentator Mike Gill. Gill had the following to say about Punk:
"I’ve long been a fan of CM Punk and I’m looking forward to the chance to work with him on Dec. 14 at Borgata. CFFC has a reputation for delivering action-packed cards with MMA’s most promising stars. This is a can’t-miss event."
What's next?
Punk has made it clear that he doesn't wish to be associated with WWE any more. This could be a brand new start for the eloquent man. It will be interesting to see him bring his expertise and wisdom to the table.
