CM Punk: I have the easiest job in the world
CM Punk: “From my point of view, I have the easiest job in the world. I just have to train every day and bust my ass every day. Literally it’s the easiest job in the world to me.”
Phil ‘CM Punk’ Brooks, 36, has been training with Duke Roufus for months now, to prepare for his UFC debut vs. TBA. Roufus wants a year before the former WWE champion steps into the Octagon, which would likely push the fight until 2016.
From my point of view, I have the easiest job in the world, said Brooks during a Friday media session, as transcribed by Dann Stupp and John Morgan for MMAjunkie. I just have to train every day and bust my ass every day. … Literally it’s the easiest job in the world to me. All I have to do is work really, really, really, really hard. It’s easy to me.
I’m not afraid of hard work.
Obviously, if I’m rolling with Anthony (Pettis), it’s a little bit frustrating because he’s teaching me the entire time; he’s like talking, having a casual conversation, and I’m just trying to hold him down. I don’t think anybody is taking it easy on me. Nobody is trying to take advantage of me. But that’s why I like it.
Everybody is super nice, but they’re also not taking it easy on me, and I appreciate that.
I probably want to fight sooner than Duke and the rest of the coaches want me to. But that’s just because I want to fight. It’s just something that … looks so goddamn fun.
