Love him or hate him, CM Punk is at least taking a risk.
For former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) mega star, CM Punk, getting the opportunity to compete for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) isn't about trying to make the next buck or three. It's more a bout fulfilling a lifelong dream, which is to compete at the highest level in a sport not many men -- or women -- are willing to try their hand at.
That's according to Paul Heyman, Punk's longtime friend, mentor and all-around wrestling legend, who recently appeared on The Steve Austin Show (via FOX Sports) to talk about his friends transition into mixed martial arts (MMA) and where his love for fighting all began.
