“Is CM Punk going to be a guy who is going to stay in the UFC and continue to fight? Probably not,” White said on UFC Tonight, “But he wanted to try it. I like the guy. I respect the guy. He wanted to fight in the UFC. He wanted to do it. He trained for two years, and he did it.”
If Punkʼs UFC career is over, itʼs likely that the Chicago-born talent will soon be picked up by another MMA promotion – possibly Bellator.
Coach Roufus, who also trains former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, claimed that plenty of other promotions are interested in signing Punk and is optimistic of his future
UFC president Dana White recently promised to get Aldo the right fight, and listed Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis as potential opponents. Aldo, though, makes it clear that he has no interest in fighting ‘Blessedʼ.
“What means is money in the pocket, and thatʼs what Iʼm thinking about,” Aldo said. “Thatʼs why I said ‘f*ck Holloway,ʼ who won eight in a row. Some people win 10, 15, and donʼt fight for the belt. So, who is he to say anything? So I wanted Pettis because that would be a way bigger fight. Everybody wanted to watch this fight when we were supposed to fight in Brazil. You have to think about money first, itʼs business these days. First the pocket, then something else.”
