8 WWE wrestlers who have trained and fought in MMA

#2 CM Punk

CM Punk paid his dues to get in the UFC octagon

Arguably the best pro-wrestler of the last decade, CM Punk achieved something in his short career that most pro-wrestlers don't even dream of. After a fallout with his previous boss, CM Punk made the leap to a line of work closest to his previous profession.

Fans waited in anticipation as Punk's debut match in the UFC kept getting delayed for one reason or another. However, that made Punk train for longer. At the beginning of 2015, Punk started his training under the legendary Duke Roufus at the Roufusport MMA Academy.

Punk's training journey has famously been captured in the documentary "The Evolution Of Punk".
