CM Punk’s Thoughts on Brock Lesnar Possibly Returning to UFC, Punk’s Teammate on His Attitude
– As noted before, CM Punk will be with teammate Anthony Pettis as he defends his UFC Lightweight Title tonight at UFC 185. Pettis spoke with The Sporting News to promote tonight’s fight and commented on CM Punk’s attitude surprising him:
“Yes for sure. I just didn’t know what to expect. You see him on TV. I met him a couple times. You really don’t know what to expect from anybody. He came into the gym, you come into the practice room and you have two world champions on the floor, you have CM Punk, you have one of the most Olympic level wrestlers and everybodies is just training together. Everybody blends in and there’s no superstar. There’s no one person who gets more attention. Its just a team full of guys that all want to get better.”
– MMA journalist Ariel Helwani was at a media gathering with CM Punk on Friday night and tweeted Punk’s thoughts on Brock Lesnar returning to UFC. Helwani wrote:
At a media gathering with @CMPunk. He believes if UFC put his debut and Brock's return on the same card it would break UFC's PPV record.

And if you're wondering, Punk would like to see Lesnar return to UFC when he becomes a free agent in a few weeks.
