Royce Gracie On If CM Punk Will Succeed In MMA

UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie appeared on Submission Radio Australia. During the interview, Royce was asked about his thoughts on the UFC signing CM Punk.

“I haven’t had a chance to train with him yet, but it’s controversial. Everybody is like, a lot of people are upset with him jumping from WWE to MMA. Man, MMA is for everybody. You want to try out? Go ahead. If you’re not ready, it’s not going to be a good way to make a living. ‘Cause he’s gonna get punched in the face for real. If he’s going to be good or not, time will tell. He might be awesome at it. He might be one of those talented guys.

“You see, with a little bit of training he could go on and be good, be an add-on to the MMA shows. But if he’s not ready, man the guys will hit him for real and they’ll punch him in the face for real. But I’m in favour of anybody should try out. For you to try, you gotta get ready.”
