his time in MMA really fukked him up the more I think about it.
and it wasn't the losses. it's that he seems to have developed a mentality that he wants to solve every issue with a physical fight. not sure if that's just the mindset you get from hanging out with MMA bros at the gym everyday for years or if it's some bully shyt since he can likely beat up most guys with his training, even if he'd get his ass kicked by a real fighter. also even if a couple of those elite boys might need their asses kicked, you can't do that in a workplace.
even if it's sports. look how awkward shyt got with the Warriors after the Draymond/Poole fight and eventually one of them had to go. while Punk would be more in the Draymond role here imo i.e. more valuable to the company/team as a player/star etc.
the problem Punk seems to have developed this mentality where he'll probably keep doing it over and over again. he was the common denominator and he had to go. of course here I was thinking Tony finally showed some balls by taking action, but then he goes and says he feared for his life.
dude does himself no favors with his haters. he is going to get roasted for that line by the usual suspects for all eternity.
