other than their previous careers in the WWE there is just no comparison between brock and punk

even in the lead in to brock's first fight people felt he could win, he's a total freak physically, has a background in wrestling, and nobody felt like he shouldn't keep going after his first loss

punk has nothing going for him but prior fame, he's just food for up and coming fighters

at his current pace he is going to be 40 before he has anywhere near enough training to really deserve to be on a PPV card, that's fucking ancient in the UFC and when guys are pushing retirement, I mean come on

Punk should focus on BJJ. Dedicate to it and enter some amateur no gi tournaments.

That's what he should've done while simultaneously putting in the work towards a blue belt, a few amateur bouts and finally getting in the ring against a TUF level fighter in his 30s for a respectable showing.

I'd love to see DC wreck some heavyweights again. Most people really don't seem to realise what a beast he is. His only loss ever was to Jones, who DC will be the first to tell you is arguably the GOAT.

Prior to that, DC was beating everyone they put in front of him, and he usually made it look easy.

I don't think he'll remain in the game much longer, but if there's a fighter I can and want to see hold two belts at the same time, it's DC.

It's only dc cause he has the chin for it. He survived a falcon punch from Anthony Johnson. That says everything you need to know

DC has to be the least widely respected great fighter I can remember.

Joe would DESTROY him.

If Joe would've wanted to pursue fighting he could have legit hung, several UFC fighters have gone on record stating that. But Joe never wanted to actually fight and has had multiple injuries.

But he has like real legit skills.

Yeah, I've seen some vids of Joe training, he knows his shit. He's never fought professionally though and he's about 10 years older than Punk, so Punk might last 1 whole round against him.
doubt it

DC is a great fighter.

Time is running out though. He's no spring chicken. Now that this thought has been put in my mind though, I'd like to see it before he inevitably hangs it up. Get this Rumble fight out of the way, and get a Miocic fight in the works.

Really puts it into perspective given the streak AJ has been on and the way he's been putting legit contenders away.

Yup. Mostly cause Jon Jones fans are shit. He's easily a Top 5 P4P fighter. Maybe Top 3 if you rule out Jones.

Punk ahould just go to NJPW, im sure they will offer him decent money there, he could have some legit matches with the years he has left, its not like he does a lot of high flying shit usually anyway.

And the dude that uses the GTS in Japan isnt there anyway :3

DC probably would have retired if he had faced Jones at 200, whether he retained the belt or lost it.

I think right now, if Rumble beats him, he hangs it up. I really like Rumble but DC is the man, so I hope he wins, and I hope there's enough demand to see him fight Stipe.

They'll probably make him fight Jones though, if he's eligible to compete by then.

If that punch CM Punk put out had connected it would have KO'ed without any shadow of a doubt.

The very basic form of that punch was wrong on every level. His foot placement, lack of hit movement, the way his hands are turned.

DC's fight against a fairly has-been Silva left some people questioning if he could take Jones
Click to expand...
It shouldn't. It was a fight that came together in literal days and it was a guy preserving himself and was extremely smart. Who the fuck would let a freak strike from the GOAT come in to play there?

DC should be commended for taking that fight and no conclusions should reasonably be drawn from it.
