The UFC has been in the headlines often for the past month in regard to being linked to current and former WWE Superstars.
President Dana White made a huge splash by signing former WWE star CM Punk, who has never fought in the octagon before. There was also some speculated interest in the company’s former fighter Brock Lesnar. However, no contact has been made between the two sides.
So far, there have been many people who’ve either praised Lesnar and Punk or tore them apart. UFC legend Don Frye look the latter avenue in an interview on Submission Radio. Here are the highlights of the interview, via Wrestling Inc.
"CM Punk signing with the UFC:“I thought he pulled out like 4 hours after he signed the contract. I thought maybe the common sense fairy came by and tapped him on his shoulder and said ‘hey dumbass, this isn’t WWE.’ I mean god dammit, who’s that big blonde fairy who has the belt for the WWE? [He’s] from North Dakota, or South Dakota, or one of them. East Dakota? The Minnesota Viking. What’s his name? [Brock Lesnar] Yeah Lesnar. Yeah he found out real fast. He was supposed to be god’s answer to Satan, or Satan’s answer to Christ, and he found out real fast that’s not the place to be. He got hit, and man it changed his – he wanted to back, go to work in McDonalds.”If Don Frye believes CM Punk could learn the skills needed to be a UFC fighter in 6-8 months:More from Daily DDTIt’s time for Adam Cole and MJF to drop the ROH tag team titlesTom Lawlor talks MLW return, AEW opportunity, CM Punk’s WWE return and moreEddie Kingston stands to gain the most from the AEW Continental ClassicTrish Stratus on WWE NXT would help elevate that women’s divisionRandy Orton signs with SmackDown to go after The Bloodline“No, no. I think it’s a pipe dream, you know. It’s a pipe dream. Back when this thing first started out, you know everybody likes to compare the difference; and everybody when they first started, everybody was a world champion. One, or two, or three, or four, or five times world champion at whatever style they were, you know. Or a 10 time national wrestling champ. They had all been doing it for 10, 15, 20 years. And somebody just can’t sit there watching the show on the couch eating Fritos and say ‘hey I think I can do this.’ Nah you’re an idiot. You’re going to get hurt and you to deserve to get hurt for thinking that way.”"
It will be interesting to see if Punk fires back at these comments. Lesnar doesn’t really talk to the media, so he’ll likely stay silent.
