CM Punk's UFC debut reportedly delayed due to shoulder injury

CM Punk fighting for the first time at the end of the year was probably a pipe dream anyway. Now, it definitely won't happen.

Punk's coach Duke Roufus told ESPN.com on Monday that the former WWE star has an injured shoulder and won't make his UFC debut for another six to 10 months.

"He got caught in a scramble, so right now he's taking a little time off," Roufus told Brett Okamoto. "He was doing great before that. His progress has been good. He's got a great attitude and he's a hard worker.
