“I’m a friend of Brock, and what he did is absolutely remarkable; I am in no way trying to follow in his footsteps,” Punk said at today’s UFC 182 fan Q&A. “I’m not thinking about a title, I’m not thinking about anything past right now training my ass off for that first fight. …Me and Brock Lesnar are two different people. He’s an animal – and I’m a smaller animal.”

During yesterday’s special UFC fan Q&A with CM Punk, Punk answered questions regarding the comparison between himself and Brock Lesnar.

Can Punk rise to the occasion and make a go of his career as a prize fighter?
