CM Punk Shares A Major Regret

CM Punk has shared a major career regret. The Second City Saint currently holds the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and is one of the top stars of the company.

Punk made his blockbuster return to the Stamford-based promotion in 2023 after walking away from the company in 2014. It was during this time that he signed with UFC and fought two matches, losing both.

During a recent appearance on What's For Lunch, he reflected on his run inside the octagon. Punk said that he regretted not starting in MMA early in his career, noting that it's a young man's sport.

"I wish I started sooner. That's the only thing; I started so late, I was already old. It was just kind of like a bucket list thing, but it doesn't mean I didn't take it seriously. I trained my a** off, got in shape, did what I could, but yeah, I started way too late; it's a young man's game," he said.

The Voice of the Voiceless made his UFC debut at the age of 38 in 2016 against Mickey Gall at UFC 203. He lost the bout early in the first round.

The former WWE Champion would return to the octagon at UFC 225 in 2018 to take on Mike Jackson. However, he suffered another defeat via unanimous decision.
