- CM Punk's friend and former UFC star Chael Sonnen spoke with MMAMania.com this week and says he has a "pretty good" idea who Punk's first UFC opponent will be. Sonnen said:
"I'm going to keep that close to the vest. It would not make sense to give him a bottom-tier guy. Well he is not a bottom-tier guy, I can tell you that. You will know who he is and he will be a pretty-heavy favorite to win. Punk is not going to come in as the favorite."
Sonnen also said he doesn't think it's a goal for Punk to set his sights on climbing the UFC ranks.
