Paul Heyman On How CM Punk Will Do In His First MMA Fight & Brock Lesnar Meeting With Vince

Paul Heyman appeared on “IT’S TIME!” podcast with UFC announcer Bruce Buffer this week to promote WrestleMania 31. Heyman spoke about the alleged incident a few weeks back where Brock Lesnar stormed off from his meeting with Vince McMahon and his opinion about how CM Punk will do in the UFC.

On Brock Lesnar storming off from

his meeting with Mr. McMahon: “I don’t agree with the assessment that Brock stormed out of the building. The dust-up was in a private room between Vince and Brock alone” … “I’m used to plans changing at the last second, after the last second, while we’re in the ring and in the middle of doing something; plans can change right then and right there and if you’re not ready for it then you’re in the wrong industry.”

On how he thinks Punk will do in his first MMA fight: “If CM Punk comes out of the gate swinging, and he shows the UFC audience exactly why he was such an idolized and revered personality in WWE – and if he gets his hands on a microphone – than I think whatever attraction he could be in that first fight will be doubled by his second fight, because he will then make more UFC fans, and not just cross-over WWE fans. If he walks out and gets his face kicked in, and he doesn’t get a chance to talk, and he doesn’t put on a memorable performance than it’s a one-time-only deal.”
