Don Frye On CM Punk’s Chances In The UFC: “Absolutely None”

Since the UFC announced back in December that CM Punk would be joining the UFC, everyone from fans, fighters and media members have made their opinion clear about him going from the squared circle to the world famous Octagon.

Some agree that Punk joining the UFC will bring eyeballs from the pro wrestling audience to the mixed martial arts scene, but some also disagree with the move as they feel it hurts the sport of MMA.

MMA legend Don Frye was recently on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast and spoke about Punk joining the promotion.

Frye (20–9–1-1) , who competed first in MMA back in 1996, is one of those who are against the former WWE superstar appearing in the UFC for his first ever pro MMA bout.

Frye was asked about Punk’s chances in his first bout and said that there is absolutely none.

According to Frye, the UFC is going to give him easy fights and turn the former sports entertainer for the WWE into a sports entertainer for the UFC.

“They are going to feed him fish. They are going to hand-pick an opponent for him so perfect that it will have all of the authenticity of a reality TV show.”

Frye continued, “I think this sh*t cheapens the sport. Back when I did it, it was a fight and then it was a sport, now it’s becoming sports entertainment. This cheapens everything that people who came before him did for twenty years.”
