Punk comparing Dana to Vince re:injuries

“(They handled it) wonderfully, in my opinion. I was in with Dana and Lorenzo, and we were talking, and Dr. Sanders just came up and he goes, ‘alright, here it is.’ He laid it all on the table for us. Of course, Dana lets out this big sigh, and he’s like, ‘ugh, we can’t get a break.’ So immediately I go into, ‘well, maybe there’s a shot I can get? Maybe I can do cortisone? Whatever.’ And Lorenzo and Dana stop me, and they went, ‘no, no, no, it is what it is. We just want you to get fixed and get healthy. We have shows every month, don’t worry about it.’

It’s just, the timing sucked. I’m literally about to walk out and do this thing (at UFC Fight Night 82). And they were great. It’s hard not to compare and contrast to where I used to work before. It was just a relief to finally have a boss who was like, ‘no, no, just get fixed, we want you 100-percent, we want you to be healthy,’ not interested in throwing a band-aid on a bullet wound just to parade me out in front of people. So it was a relief, and it felt nice.”

If he loses his first fight it's not a good investment , he's no Brock Lesner
If he loses his first fight he still got eyes on that fight and drew viewers in. Not sure how that's a bad deal unless you're suggesting that he should have only been brought in so he could win. Even when using your Lesnar analogy, he lost his first fight out.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, I think the odds of Punk debuting in Bellator are significantly higher than the odds of him ever fighting in UFC.

He should have just gone back to being a short order cook.

That's what he is good at.
:pacspit:

On topic: this is a ridiculous premise. To say homie should get into boxing, despite having no formal training, not to mention competition level training is crazy. I love dude, but he'd get his head knocked off of his fukking body.

His delusional ego has him gassed up. AJ lost--it was like he married her and became 60 years old without any notice.
