CM Punk has been called out by former UFC and Bellator fighter Phil Baroni, who downplayed Punk’s recent comments about the WWE by saying he was just being “whiney.”
In a related report by the Inquisitr , CM Punk chants targeting his WWE Diva wife AJ Lee have been making Punk pretty “uncomfortable” lately. TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter also expressed interest in hiring CM Punk , but she admits now is not the time.
Rumors are stating that CM Punk could join UFC or Bellator in 2015, and UFC President Dana White is apparently planning on meeting with Punk later tonight during UFC 181. Even before leaving the WWE, Punk was training in MMA with Brazilian jiu-jitsu master Rener Gracie these past four years.
“With the little time he’s had with me spread out over so many years, he’s made remarkable progress. There’s no telling how successful he would be if he devoted himself full time to the training,” said Gracie. “He can go get some fights, knock some fools out and choke some dudes. If he dedicates himself full time, there is no limit. He has the intangibles.”
Earlier this year, Phil Baroni said there would be “no better fight” than facing off against CM Punk within Bellator, but now Baroni is just throwing insults on social media.
“I’ll bust you up. Call Coker, move [that] f***ing needle. Wah! Wah! Triple H was mean to me. Vince [McMahon] owes me. Wah Wah. You’re gonna love MMA and Dana White; it’s so fair over here. Ryback hurt you? I’ll break your f***ing neck, [you] whiney b***h.”
Phil Baroni has been talking smack on Twitter for days, saying he will send CM Punk “back to the comic book store.” Even though many of these tweets have been aimed directly at CM Punk’s Twitter account, the former wrestler has been silent, not even acknowledging the MMA fighter’s challenge, which just caused Baroni to call out Punk even more.
Rt FrontRowBrian: @cmpunk should at least acknowledge @philbaroni ‘s challenge. Phil is legend in his business.Punk should show respect
