The Associated Press published quotes from CM Punk, in which he expresses his frustrations on headlining live events but not major pay-per views.Â
"Imagine if UFC took Conor McGregor and they just put him on Fight Pass prelims, and they wouldn't let him main event the big PPV or a big show," Punk said. "That's how I felt. I was the main event on all the house shows, I was the only guy that was touring live every single day. When it came time for the PPV main event, oh, someone else is coming in."Â
Punk also reveals that he would be introduced as Phil "CM Punk" Brooks when he fights for the UFC.Â
"I've come this far with CM Punk. That's what people know," Punk said. "I'm trying to stick with that. I'm not shying away from it. I'm not ashamed of it."Â
