Itchy CM Punk unlikely to make UFC debut until 2016 (and you can blame his accountant)

When Phil Brooks was a wrestler for WWE -- specifically when he was a "heel" -- the promotion would troll the crowd by playing his entrance music without sending him out to the ring. Fans would jump up from their seats ready to see him and nope, nothing.

Nice to see some things haven't changed.

"CM Punk" has since junked his career in the squared circle to pursue life as a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, signing with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) last November. But he's not a fighter until he has an actual fight (this doesn't count), something that may not happen until 2016.
