Askren: CM Punk works hard every single day
According to teammate Ben Askren, CM Punk has been showing up to the gym and training hard every day to prepare for his UFC debut, which was announced a few months back.
Whether or not former WWE Champion CM Punk can be successful in the UFC Octagon is still be determined, but it won’t be from a lack of hard work says training partner Ben Askren:
Askren (14-0), 30, is an MMA fighter and expert wrestler, having transitioned to the cage after a decorated career on the mat with two NCAA titles and a trip to the 2008 Olympics.
He said he gets asked a lot about people wanting to know what Brooks has got.
When someone decides to come into the UFC and they don’t have a combat sports background, you’re kind of thinking, does he really understand what he’s getting into? Askren told MMAjunkie. But I think he gets it. I think he’s taking it very seriously.
