CM Punk will prove a lot of people wrong: UFC Star Cole Miller
UFC Star Cole Miller is full of praises about former WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk in his recent talk with MMAFighting.com. Miller has trained with Punk on multiple occasions and has said that he is very good on the ground level and focuses on learning a lot of techniques.
Punk has been training with Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend trainer Rener Gracie and has not advanced beyond White belt. But according to Miller, Punk is beyond blue belt level and he is better than half of the fighters on the roster. Miller believes that “?The Best in the World” will do well in the Octagon ring and prove his critics wrong. He said that,
“I think he'll do very well. I don't think he's trying to make a 10-year career out of this. But he's going to shake things up, whoop some a** and prove a lot of people wrong. I think most MMA fighters don't have any kind of ground. Most of them aren't good at all.
Even in the UFC. There are plenty of exceptions, but when I say most, I mean more than 50 percent are nothing more than okay blue belts on the ground. I would rate CM Punk definitely above that.
The UFC is a business and I guarantee it's definitely into protecting its brand and business. If you think they would sign somebody that's gonna go in there and suck and is not skilled, you're crazy. When did you see somebody in the UFC that completely sucked? Never."
