CM Punk Won't Escort Chael Sonnen to Octagon at UFC on FOX

Quote:

WWE champion CM Punk will not escort Chael Sonnen to the Octagon prior to Sonnen's fight against Mark Munoz on Jan. 28, after all.

Punk confirmed with MMAFighting.com that WWE chairman Vince McMahon decided against allowing him to walk out to the cage with Sonnen later this month. MMA reporter FrontRowBrian first reported the news Friday afternoon.

And WWE claims they aren't competing with the UFC...

Well that sucks. I am both a wrestling and mma fan so it would have been cool to see that type of mix once again. But oh well. I hear people think it's wrong for these worlds to be featured together.

I wonder why Vince nixed the idea. I think the wwe was having a house show on saturday, but I remembered Punk saying he was going to take the night off, maybe Vince booked him for the show. Maybe Punk will later come out and say why. I'm sure Ariel will fill us in.

Is there any reason to care about this? I'm just not seeing it.

If lady gaga was going to walk with Anderson, and then decided she wasn't, I'm not going to care. I really don't care about this any more than I would that.

Have they even signed a bout agreement yet?

Not that its a big deal or anything. I am just wondering why the WWE would be against this. Other wrestlers have done it in the past. And CM Punk would probably be the only reason Sonnen would get any cheers in Chicago.

I really couldn't give a shit...

We'd see him for ooh, all of 30 seconds? What exactly would we be missing if he didn't walk down the path to the Octogon with Sonnen.

I'd be more interested in seeing Lady Gaga personally, as in the right outfit, she's pretty hot, she can sing* and I've heard she's a very talented darts player too.

I'd be pretty upset if lady gaga was going to walk out Silva and then backed out...

Sonnen is fighting Munoz January 28th, I believe that is the fight that they were referring to.

Just close the gate and fight thats my outlook on it. I personally don't watch it for the walk in's. A good stare down maybe or a Herring kiss and knock out before the fight I'd see as good humor.[spelling]
