CM Punk Says WWE Is More Dangerous Than UFC

CM Punk has told Rolling Stone that he considers pro wrestling more risky than mixed martial arts.
“I definitely think pro wrestling’s more risky. The pro wrestler’s mentality, and it’s ingrained in them from the start, is you have to work hurt,” Punk told the magazine’s website.
There’s some truth in this, but it is also wholly ignorant of the rigours involved in MMA. Fighting in a cage where somebody is targeting to knock you out is obviously more risky than choreographing a blow in a wrestling ring.
Even outside of the cage, MMA training camps are famed for their physical difficulty. Mike Sempervive of f4wonline has already cast doubt on Punk’s ability to make it through a camp. The intense workouts often involve injury and physical exhaustion.
“If I step in the Octagon and I get knocked out, I don’t gotta keep fighting. If that was pro wrestling, and I slipped and I fell and something happened to me and I got knocked out and I woke up three seconds later, guess what: I gotta finish this match,” Punk added.
WWE aren’t going to be happy with that comment, as it is again undermining their health policy. Again, Punk is a little wrong on this one, as plenty of fighters have been known to fight through injuries. Ignorance like this is sure to annoy the already furious MMA fanbase who see Punk as nothing more than a fake.
Punk stated he was afraid to tell AJ Lee his decision to fight, but added that she’s completely supporting his choice. He also reiterated that he’d never return to WWE, not even for a WrestleMania main event.
In another quote, Punk backed up the idea that WWE is harder by talking about pro wrestler / mixed martial artist King Mo, “He’s been training to be a pro wrestler, and he was like, “Pro wrestling is harder.”
