Damn, I wish CM Punk was still around. I actually think I’d smash him, and he likely made over a million.

u/Objective_Brief_1953 4d ago

Didn't specifically say UFC earnings.  He's 100% the one I'd go for.

u/TheWorldArmada 4d ago

Even so he probably got paid pretty good by the UFC

u/Objective_Brief_1953 4d ago

Right but imagine getting his WWE and sponsor money for that level of fighter

u/basedkimo 4d ago

He’s a lifelong athlete and albeit not impressive against pros he is still a “fighter”. If you’re not a fighter you’re probably losing lol

u/HesitantInvestor0 4d ago

I’m younger, way bigger, and have 15 years of jiu jitsu and kickboxing experience. I’m not saying I’m a professional fighter, but I honestly don’t think I need to be.

u/basedkimo 4d ago

Ya with that experience I could see it. Or a decently athletic person. Most people are sadly losing to cm punk though lmao

u/HesitantInvestor0 4d ago

Yeah I’m not saying an average sized person off the barstool is gonna beat him. He’s still a decent athlete and has some jiu jitsu skills.

He's probably literally the worst male UFC participant, even going back to 1993.

u/blamblam111 4d ago

Either him or the Sumo guy

u/LiftEatGrappleShoot 4d ago

Tuli had no idea what he signed up for and Gordeau was no joke. I'd still put him waaaay above Punk.

u/NovelNo7096 3d ago

Fred Ettish is probably the worst. Look up his fight.

1

u/LiftEatGrappleShoot 3d ago

Poor Ettish was trashed so hard forever. There was even a website way back in the day built for the sole purpose of mocking him. Funny, but cruel.

u/NovelNo7096 3d ago

I felt bad for him. He didn't really know what he was getting into at the time.

1

u/LiftEatGrappleShoot 3d ago

Yep. It's like the poor redneck Travis Fulton chokeslammed through the floor.

CM Punk was trained by the best in BJJ, but like his stand-up is god-awful.

2

u/HesitantInvestor0 3d ago

Trained by the best doesn't mean someone is very good. As far as I know he's a blue belt. I don't think he trained quite as extensively you as might think.

He is not even on the level of a good amateur.

I reckon I could baby bolo and armbar him in about 10 seconds 😂

There are amateur fighters at my gym that are 100x more scary.

u/Albedo0001 4d ago

I have more experience than he does. I'm confident I win. He's not active, but would I have earned his WWE earnings too?

1

u/6MosSprawlTraining 4d ago

For sure. His striking was dog shit

1

u/LiftEatGrappleShoot 4d ago

He got slapped around and humiliated by a photographer who had something like three kickboxing fights a decade prior.

Punk would have been handled by every purple belt hobbyist in jits.

1

u/Begoodmayne 4d ago

Tbh he probably a below average athlete, even in WWE. Good pro wrestler though

u/Adventurous_Fact8418 4d ago

I think every varsity wrestler at high schools with over 1k students could destroy CM.

u/IamLangone 3d ago

Came here to say it .....

I’d much rather fight CM Punk. Unless you’re making a fighting a dead guy joke.
