Power Ranger upset with CM Punk dismissing him, thinks Punk regrets UFC deal
Source: FOX Sports
As noted earlier, MMA fighter Jason David Frank, better known as the Green Power Ranger, has challenged CM Punk to a MMA fight and immediately called out Punk after Punk signed with UFC earlier this month. When Punk was asked about Frank's challenge during media interviews earlier this month, Punk blew it off and acted like he wasn't familiar with Frank.
"I like CM Punk, I think he's a great guy. I've been watching all of his interviews, we've been on tour together. I'm not sure why he says he doesn't know me," Frank told FOX Sports. "I've done the Wizard World (conventions) with him and even back two years ago he was saying that 'your fans want to see me fight' and somebody came to his panel and said something about fighting Jason David Frank and he said 'oh yeah, the fans are already talking about it' and then he said 'which color Power Ranger is he?' so he knows who I am."
Frank went on to say that it bugged him when Punk said that he hadn't heard of his challenge because it received considerable media attention. Frank stated that a fight between the two makes sense since they both come from the entertainment industry with Punk coming "from fake wrestling." He noted that he would definitely defeat Punk, and that Punk looks like he regrets signing with the UFC.
"I'm not going to lose. He's not hungry. He looked like he regrets the deal. He looks scared, he looked nervous. Me too, I'd get nervous too being in front of people, but the difference is he's not hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry because I want this fight. I've wanted this for two years. He needs to figure it out because there's way too much hype in this. He can continue to ignore me and he can go to bed every night and go to sleep and know that he's been punked."
"I wish him the best, but he doesn't know what this world is."
