LAS VEGAS — The man known to millions as “ CM Punk ” might come from the same professional wrestling world as former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, but he won’t follow a similar trajectory in the UFC — at least not right away, according to UFC President Dana White. “It’s not like he’s going to come in like Brock Lesnar did … we’re not going to throw the kitchen sink at him like we did Lesnar,” White told MMAjunkie following the announcement at UFC 181 that the organization had signed Punk – real name Phil Brooks – to fight in the UFC. “Lesnar had a real good wrestling background,” White said. “(Brooks) is going to fight a guy that’s 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, something like that. He wanted to do it.
