While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Randy Couture spoke about the recency bias involved in UFC and how the latest fight is what fans remember you by.
The three-time UFC heavyweight champion continued, crediting CM Punk for attempting to venture into MMA but felt he took a bigger jump than he should have to start off.
CM Punk went winless in UFC
CM Punk fought twice inside the octagon once against Mickey Gall and then against Mike Jackson.
His debut at UFC 203 ended in humiliating fashion for the Second City Saint as he lost in almost two minutes via submission to a rear-naked choke hold.
His second bout came almost two years later at UFC 225 when Mike Jackson won by unanimous decision. The result was later overturned to a no contest after Jackson tested positive for a banned substance.
MMA is not an easy sport to transition to after professional wrestling, and CM Punk must get full credit for giving it a go. Now back in AEW, he has a chance to further his legacy in the business he became a household name in.
