– CM Punk appeared at the start of the UFC 181 post-fight press conference and talked more about signing with the company. After he spoke, he thanked the fighters for allowing him to talk to reporters before they came out for their post-fight questions. Below are some highlights:
* The deal was finalized on October 22nd, which is when he was completely free from WWE. Punk said signing with UFC was an easy decision. The deal had been in the works for a while. Punk was supposed to the “major announcement” for last month’s press conference but the deal wasn’t done in time.
* Punk said he is staying off Twitter and staying away from the negativity from fans for now.
* He talked about looking for a training camp and said he won’t “cherry pick” his training partners.
