Former WWE Superstar CM Punk joins UFC

Former WWE Superstar CM Punk has revealed that he signed an official multi-fight deal with Ultimate Fighting Championship. Punk aka Phil Brooks admitted about the deal when he was attending the UFC 181 after which he was supposed to hold a meeting with UFC president Dana White.

Punk’s debut in the octagon will come in 2015 and he made it clear that he is looking for a training camp soon. Punk also added that he has been in touch with some. Punk will be fighting at the Middleweight or welterweight category according to the reports that are coming out.

“I have a background in kempo and I’ve been doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a long time," Punk told UFC presenter Rogan.

"This is my new career, 100-percent. I'm going to go full steam ahead, all systems go after today, and it's going to be fun. I have nothing but respect for everybody here at the UFC, everybody who steps in the Octagon to fight. And when it's all said and done, when I'm finished, everybody's going to have to respect me because I have come here to fight." He added.

Below is the Vine video of Punk saying that he will be in the octagon next year:

This apparently is a direct violation of the Non-compete clause that Punk had in his WWE termination papers and we could expect a legal battle between the two if that wasn't settled already behind the door.

UFC is also looking to bring in WWE champion Brock Lesnar for next year and if that is the case, Vince McMahon and WWE will clearly view UFC as a competition.
