Chael Sonnen will be joined by WWE Champion CM Punk at UFC on Fox

Two “champions” will walk to the Octagon for the UFC on Fox 2 co-main event, as WWE Champion CM Punk will join “Chael P. Sonnen, the true champion” for Sonnen’s bout against Mark Munoz.

CM Punk, who hails from Chicago, has admitted that he is a fan of MMA and if you have witnessed a Chael Sonnen interview as of late, you know that he has watched some video on how to hype a fight and build an image via interviews.

FrontRowBrian first tweeted the news on Tuesday stating:

FRB Exclusive Story: @CMPunk will be walking to the octagon with @sonnench on Jan. 28th for @UFCONFOX. Vince, Dana, Lorenzo approved it.

MMAFighting.com reported that Punk will only walk Sonnen to the cage and will not corner him for the fight.

UFC on Fox 2 will take place on January 28 from the United Center in Chicago, IL. The fight card will be headlined by a Light Heavyweight bout between former UFC Champion Rashad Davis and Phil Davis.
