Main reason why no set fight date for CM Punk

He's never fought before so he's never been licensed. So unless he signs a bout agreement or requests a license then he can't get tested for PED's.

Mr straight edge PEPSI logo is getting all the help he can get.

I still say he never fights. He's essentially being paid to create attention by the ufc but the moment he gets into the cage and gets bashed the gravy train is over for everyone involved. So his "advisers" and the UFC will keep him out of the cage.

Either that or the UFC pay someone to take a dive. Which wouldn't even be in their top 10 douche moves for the past year. Phone Post 3.0

Haven't you heard? NSAC (and UFC) can test anyone at any time.

Can they test you??

He's not a "fighter" by any definition yet. He's never fought. He's never been licensed. He hasn't requested a license. He hasn't got a fight set.

Which athletic commission is going to decide to test him and on what grounds? Phone Post 3.0

Isn't anyone else out there thinking ...hey, he's giving it a shot...good for him. More then 99% of us never did.

Why would anyone here say that ! Don't you know we could all be pro fighters and just choose not too? The UG is full of the best athletes in the world or the most knowledgable coaches !

All seriousness , good for him and good for him he has made a name for himself in the entertainment world to get a shot at mma. Phone Post 3.0

Maybe cos he's getting the silver spoon treatment and hasn't had a single amateur fight yet. Shouldn't he earn his credit? Or should we idolize everyone who gets paid simply to say they want to fight before they even fight?

But this thread is about why he doesn't have a fight date set. Phone Post 3.0

Who is idolizing him?

I'm just interested to see what he can do.

I find all of the melodramatic "Pay dues!!1" talk to be a bit much.

If sucks he is going to get the shit beat out of him, if not, he won't. Not much more to it than that.

No, because its a complete money grab by the UFC

and no1 can deny it, they must really be hurting finances wise

Wait.. a business.. trying to generate revenue?? How scummy!



You're truly hopeless.

Strange posts here. The guy has been signed. He and his coach said it would probably be a year before he steps foot in the cage. Still, this thread has every theory from he is never going to fight, to he is using PEDs, to this is all a publicity stunt. As far as I'm concerned, he is just another guy in the gym at this point. Until we hear otherwise, what is the point of talking about it? It's like the never-ending questioning of whether GSP is coming back. The dude is out until we hear otherwise. Plenty of other things to concentrate on in the meantime.

It's kind of ridiculous people think he will get smashed. Anyone who is athletic could dedicate a year to a training camp and they could do respectable In a UFC match Phone Post 3.0

Not necessarily. People can dedicate their life to combat sports and get smashed anyway. Also he is not young and he's trying to learn everything at once.

That said it will depend a lot on who he fights. Against someone else with few or no previous fights and no background in other sports he should be fine. How you find a person like that who will still interest fans, I'm not sure. It's a tricky match to make. Phone Post 3.0

There's no fight set because it's uncertain he'll ever fight. My money is on he'll realize over the next few months he's going to get his ass kicked and back out. He was signed as a publicity stunt and to prevent Bellator from getting him.

So that's the definition of "the best fighting the best"?

Fedor wasn't the best because he never fought in the ufc but anyone athletic with a year of training will do fine in the UFC?

Seems legit. Phone Post 3.0

Hey man not every athletic better than average blue belt could hang in the ufc after only a year of training. Phone Post 3.0

White already said "who knows if he's ever going to fight."

It seems like Dana should know? They made a huge fuss about signing him and said he would fight in 2015. Phone Post 3.0
