FOX Sports has a story here noting that top officials from the New Jersey and Nevada state athletic commissions have concerns licensing someone with no fighting experience.
“We would really have to look at this very closely,” New Jersey athletic commission head Larry Hazzard said. “We would have to take a close look at it. Normally, we require some type of background as either an amateur or a professional. This would certainly raise a red flag.”
Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett is suggesting that Punk may have to get some experience before they will license him.
“I would say that it would behoove him to get some amateur fights,” Bennett said. “Get some amateur fights and get some experience.”
