Nah you don't get it. The fact that he had the balls and the commitment to do what you describe as "something you can't just pick up and drop like a piece of shyt" at his age, with his shortcomings and his circumstances is the real prize. People wake up everyday afraid to do and possibly fail at some shyt they would otherwise love to try. Punk can't say that about himself, not after tonight (especially when the thing he is doing was on a national stage and he risked immense public ridicule if he failed)

And Punk said himself his goal was to start at the lowest level but the opportunity to fight in the UFC was given to him so he took it. If you look at it as a slap in the face that you're training so hard while Punk is being handed things, that's still a loser's mentality. Winners don't focus on other winners. Don't lose yourself to a crab-ass mentality

I take it as no slap in the face, I'm under no delusions, other then the slap to the face I took as a fan watching a shytty fight. The fighters in the company , especially ones that hasn't gotten an opportunity should be taking it as a slap in the face though and should be making the company answer to them. Most of the UFC roster has to work a second job to even be able to go train and fight around their work schedule. FOH with balls and commitment, he was a coddled chosen one from the beginning. What if the Lions signed me to play today never playing football on any level before, I go out there against the colts, run one route get lit the fukkup & get cut. Do I deserve props for that? Hell no.
