#4 His Commitment to UFC and MMA
CM Punk has repeatedly said he's not a wrestler now but an MMA fighter trying to make it in the world of UFC. It doesn't matter whether his MMA record stands at 0-2. It doesn't matter if he was mauled by Mickey Gall in his first UFC Fight. It doesn't matter if he was beaten by Mike Jackson.
He's all about MMA.
As stated earlier, CM Punk goes all the way. He's very single-minded and focused. It's his willingness to always keep trying. That is admirable in every shape and form. His training for his first UFC Fight was covered extensively in the fighting world and was under the watchful eye of Duke Roufus.
While he has not said goodbye to pro-wrestling and he may work in a place like AEW, WWE seems to be something he will look back in the rearview mirror as he drives onwards towards his future.
