4. Signing CM Punk

CM Punk was a longtime UFC fan before he became something of a UFC joke. As such, he and Dana White got to know each other through the years. Their previous relationship, is most likely what led to White signing Punk to a UFC contract.

White would say they signed Punk to prevent another organization from exploiting him. MMA purists on the other hand, would have preferred if the UFC didn’t open doors for Punk, and allow him to skip the line in front of more experienced and deserving fighters.

CM Punk fighting in the UFC downgrades what it means to be a UFC fighter.
