Green Ranger: I’m more legit than CM Punk
Jason David Frank: “…which tells me two things — he’s annoyed and doesn’t want to give me more creditability with fans or No. 2, [CM Punk]’s scared.”
When it was announced that CM Punk (real name Phil Brooks) had signed to fight in the UFC, one of the first to offer to fight him, Jason David Frank, otherwise known as the Green Ranger from TV’s Might Morphin Power Rangers. Frank actually has mixed martial arts experience and believes he would be a good fight for the former WWE champion:
“It definitely bugs me. It bugs me that they won’t give me any acknowledgement. I have way more experience than him. Plus it’s everywhere on the internet. Google CM Punk and UFC and it pops up. So he’s naive to pretend that he doesn’t know about me, which tells me two things — he’s annoyed and doesn’t want to give me more creditability with fans or No. 2, he’s scared. Those are the only explanations and there are no other explanations,” Frank said.
“I don’t know why Punk would be scared when he’s going into the UFC and facing top talent out there. I’d be way more scared if (Michael) Bisping challenged me and came up and wanted to fight. It does annoy me. I’m not picking on him, he’s in a top organization and I’ve seen all the people talking about him and I tried getting this way before now. I challenged him two years ago.”
Jason David Frank is actually 1-0 in professional mixed martial arts after a 4-0 career as an amateur. His experience level is on par with someone Brook’s should fight, but the matchup seems unlikely.
