C.M Punk tränar för fullt inför sin debut inom MMA, men inget datum är satt än för hans första match, däremot verkar C.M Punk ha utvecklat sin striking och är fullt fokuserad på att bli en duktig fighter.
Enligt tränaren Duke Roufus är C.M Punks största styrka hans striking.
”Believe it or not, and I don’t ask, but everybody asks Duke (Roufus) ’how is he doing?’, and Duke tells everybody that he thinks that my best area right now, is striking, believe it or not. It’s mind boggling to me. Striking was the one thing that I never did.”
”I’ve hit mitts before. I’ve done boxing before. But all the nuances you need to know, and everything you need to do with your feet and your head, the correct movement. That’s been the most challenging thing, aside from wrestling, but Duke says I’m doing okay, and Duke won’t lie to me.”
C.M Punk kommer göra sin debut när hans coacher kommer tycka att han är redo då han inte vill gå in i oktagonen och göra bort sig.
”Dana’s quote was ’tell me when you’re ready’, and I defer to my coaches and I say ’tell me when I’m ready, guys.’ This is very much about me, this whole journey, but I have a whole team behind my back. I’m not here to let them down. I’m not here to embarrass them,” he said. ”I want to be able to get in there and get my hand raised and say ’if you want to train, lose weight, be a mixed martial artist, come to Roufusport!’ I want to be able to say that after I win.”
”There’s a lot more than just me finding out something about myself, through all this. I want to be able to hug my coaches and thank them for giving me the knowledge afterwards.”
