Chael Sonnen Says He Knows Who CM Punk Will Face In His MMA Debut

Chael Sonnen spoke to MMA MANIA about Punk signing with the UFC. Sonnen said that he expects that Punk will be in the main event or co-main event of the show he fights on due to his price tag, and that he has “a pretty good idea who his opponent is.”

“I’m going to keep that close to the vest,” Sonnen said. “It would not make sense to give him a bottom-tier guy…. he is not a bottom-tier guy, I can tell you that. You will know who he is and he will be a pretty-heavy favorite to win. Punk is not going to come in as the favorite.”

There was a rumor stemming from a story on DailyLeak.org that CM Punk and Jason (Green Ranger/White Ranger) David Frank could possibly match up after JDF has put out the challenge but the likely-hood of this happening isn’t very high as of right now.

…I’d personally love to see them fight so I’ll hold out hope…
