One of the most polarizing events on the MMA horizon is the UFC debut of WWE superstar CM Punk<\/a>. Because Punk has precisely zero background in the martial arts, there are plenty of fans out there who think his UFC 203 bout with Mickey Gall is a publicity stunt that is doomed to fail. Yet there are also plenty of fans out there who respect his courage and desire to test himself.<\/p>\n

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis,<\/a> who is\u00a0a training partner of Punk at Roufusport Mixed Martial Arts in Milwaukee, falls into the latter category.<\/p>\n

In a recent video posted to Youtube by Fancy MMA<\/a>, the former lightweight champ and current featherweight contender weighed in on Punk’s upcoming debut, as well as his own recent bout with Charles Oliveira.<\/p>\n

Do you share Pettis’ optimism about Punk’s UFC debut, or do you think the pro wrestler is doomed for an ass kicking? Sound off, PENN nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
