5 Things We Can Expect From CM Punk's UFC Debut

CM Punk: Starting Afresh

#3 Brock Lesnar’s advice might help

CM Punk and Brock Lesnar: From WWE to UFC

Phil “CM Punk” Brooks stunned the world when he announced in 2014 that he will join UFC. Many of us were, and still are skeptical about how will it turn out to be. But, Punk was an aggressive fighter in WWE and he is known for his never-say-die attitude.

And he has always been a showman. And for advice, he has turned to none other than Brock Lesnar.

Punk told MMAFighting.com "[Lesnar] offered his help,he said, ‘Anything. You got a stupid question, you want to bug me, go for it.' So I do. I asked him what the hardest thing for him to do was, because obviously he's a freak athlete but something had to be difficult for him.

And I find it's the exact same thing I'm having difficulty with, and that's learning to let go.”

Punk will probably rely heavily on his abilities on the ground. And it will be interesting to see how much he has adapted to the grueling world of MMA. But Lesnar is an old warhorse who made an effortless transition from WWE to UFC and back.

So Punk might want to follow him.
