UFC Lightweight champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis spoke to MMA Junkie about his new high-profile teammate CM Punk, and had kind words to share about the former WWE Champion.
“He hasn’t trained with the team yet,” Pettis told MMAjunkie this week. “He’s doing private lessons with Duke and my jiu-jitsu coach. He’s definitely a great athlete. It’s just when it comes to MMA you’ve got to put it all together. His striking is going to need some improvement. His jiu-jitsu is getting improvement. He’s going to get improvement everywhere with the team, but we just want to take it slow, and he agrees.”
