‘This is the place you want to be if you’re an athlete.’

A fight on a UFC card may not be forthcoming for another year but CM Punk is training his ass off for it.

Punk, real name Phil Brooks, has foregone his WWE career to pursue a personal goal of becoming an elite mixed martial artist.

The 36-year-old was interviewed as part of a feature on the EXOS [athlete performance] institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Brooks praises the set regimen the instructors and trainers have in place.
