Seth Rollins isn\'t confident he\'d thrive in the world of UFC, but the World Heavyweight Champion imagines he\'d do better than CM Punk.
Since CM Punk\'s return to WWE last year, Seth Rollins has taken issue with the Best in the World. Rollins\' belief is that Punk has spent years putting WWE down and will only cause trouble the longer he\'s around (such as what we saw in AEW.)
Seth Rollins Would Do Better Than CM Punk
Last September, WWE and UFC officially merged with the launch of TKO Group Holdings. This merger has led to speculation that fans could see more crossover between the two sides. In an interview with ESPN, Rollins was asked if he\'d call out any UFC fighters and couldn\'t resist taking a dig at CM Punk.
\"I’d call them all out. I don’t care. I can’t do what they do. I’d probably get knocked out and choked in two seconds. Still, I might do better than Punk [CM Punk], but I would likely lose. They can’t come and do what we do either. Same umbrella, but two totally different worlds.
WWE and UFC recently began selling their first combo tickets. UFC 289 will take place this week from the Honda Center which will also be the home of next week\'s Raw.
CM Punk in the UFC
After walking out of WWE in 2014, Punk signed with UFC that same year. Punk\'s first fight came in 2016 at UFC 203 against Mickey Gall. Punk would lose the fight early on, which would be acknowledged by Stephanie McMahon on WWE TV.
Punk\'s second fight would also not go well. In his hometown of Chicago, Punk lost to Mike Jackson at 2018\'s UFC 225 event. The fight was later ruled a no contest after Jackson failed a drug test.
