CM Punk Talks About Getting MMA Advice From Batista And More

SB Nation recently interviewed CM Punk, who discussed getting MMA advice from Batista and more. Below are a couple of highlights:

On writing the comic book for Drax, Batista’s character in Guardians of the Galaxy:

“Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I texted Dave [Bautista] right away. ‘Dude, I’m gonna be writing the Drax comic book!’ [laughs] And he was like, ‘No way!’ So yeah, it’s definitely bizarre. It’s almost one of those stories where you wouldn’t be able to make this up.”

Getting advice from Batista about entering MMA:

“It might have been a little less than a year ago. I think he was doing a comic con out here in Chicago and he came over just so we could hang out for a little bit. Yeah, I talked to him about it. This was before I made the announcement [that I was signing UFC]. I was heavily thinking about it, so I was — without spilling the beans to him, because I wasn’t sure what I was going to do — I was asking him all kinds of questions. Because he was in the same situation I was in, coming from the pro wrestling background, a little bit older than he probably should have been [starting out], just like I am. So there’s a lot of similarities, so he gave me a lot of advice to help me out.”
