UFC Star Says CM Punk Doesn’t Deserve to Fight in UFC

UFC Welterweight Matt Brown recently spoke with The Fan Garage to promote tonight’s UFC 198 event, and below is what Brown had to say about Punk in UFC:

“I didn’t criticize him for having his surgery if it was something necessary to do. I criticized him for the fact that he’s not a fighter. He doesn’t deserve to fight in the UFC with no fights. I don’t believe he deserves to fight in the UFC based off the name he made in pro-wrestling and I think he’ll figure it out when he fights in the UFC, he’ll figure it out the hard way. Or he can listen to me and that’ll be the easy way to learn.”

Owens Reacts to ROH Talent Departure

As we noted last night, ROH star Cedric Alexander announced he is leaving Ring of Honor, and Kevin Owens Tweeted the following reaction:

@CedricAlexander I can’t believe this is how it ends for you there…Their loss! Good luck on the next chapter, dude!
