During the broadcast of UFC 181, it was announced that the UFC had signed former WWE champion CM Punk, real name Phil Brooks, to a contract, and that he would be making his MMA, and UFC debut sometime soon.
Below is a compilation of fighter reactions to the signing.
@ufc sign a fake wrestler, but not an Olympian who is the best WW in the world. Amateur move.
