\"Punk<\/a><\/p>\n

CM Punk has been training at Roufusport in Milwaukee for a week now, and everyone is saying great things about the new partnership between Punk and the Roufusport team.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week Punk and Roufus appeared on Inside MMA to speak to Bas Rutten and Kenny Rice about how things are going (See that HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now, lightweight champion Anthony Pettis is sounding off on how Punk has been doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe hasn\u2019t trained with the team yet. He\u2019s doing private lessons with Duke and my jiu-jitsu coach. We don\u2019t want to scare him away. But I\u2019m not discrediting him because he\u2019s definitely a great athlete. It\u2019s just when it comes to MMA you\u2019ve got to put it all together. His striking is going to need some improvement. His jiu-jitsu is getting improvement. He\u2019s going to get improvement everywhere with the team, but we just want to take it slow, and he agrees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the cool thing about him. He said, \u2018I\u2019m not coming in with any ego. I want you to tell me when I\u2019m ready. And when you guys think I\u2019m ready, that\u2019s when I\u2019m ready.\u2019 That shows me that he\u2019s going to do great in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing the following he has, he\u2019s very modest. He is a very cool guy. He\u2019s down to earth, and he didn\u2019t come in with an ego at all into the gym. I think we have a great relationship right away. He\u2019s asking questions and advice on training. He wants to do it, so that\u2019s great. The first step is wanting to do it, and now he\u2019s putting it all together.\u201d<\/p>\n
