Did anyone really think Punk would ever go back to wrestling again? He's by all accounts very sensible with his money and although he got his arse kicked tonight, I'm sure he got a shitload of money for it. He's also got other things to keep his attention, IMO he was never going to go to any wrestling company before he even signed with UFC. I do only because I like the "never say never" scenarios with the improbable actually happening in wrestling.

He actually fought in the UFC on PPV. That's why it pays to have connections, kids.

I still say Punk goes commentary
I can't say much for 'respect for him getting in there' since they GAVE him that chance. But thats on Dana, not him

so do we get Punk vs Jason David Frank (the green ranger) now?? Yeah JDF fought in heavyweight...I don't want to see punk in the hospital...again. I wonder if they'll let AJ bring Punk the pizza he wanted to eat after the fight to the ER

Took 2 Years, a Documentary, and like 2 Minutes but he sure did
And we have every right to laugh about it
I mean, yeah, Punk gets to laugh that he used Dana's markdom to squeeze a huge paycheck out of him. But it still seemed a little arrogant to want to start on the highest rung of the MMA ladder with no experience to his name. Yeah, I think that's where the most backlash (no pun intended) comes from. It'd be like if Tim Tebow started his MLB career by shooting straight to the majors and leapfrogging legit players who probably deserved it more.

The arrogance is taking the fight in the first place. He was way, way, way, way, way out of his league yet instead of training on the lower rungs he fought someone who was significantly better than him. It would be like my dream of playing baseball and somehow getting a contract to play Single A ball instead of starting in a beer league. Having never played baseball in my life since I was in 4th grade, those guys would destroy me. Like I don't think I'd get a base hit if I faced Single A pitchers. But if a single a club offered you a deal, you'd say no to your dream? I honestly would. I'm really not trying to be pious about it, but it's more that I would be completely embarrassed out there. If I had a bigger ego (or maybe to put it in the nicer way I was extremely self confident) perhaps I would sign though. Still, to me that's where self confidence crosses the line into arrogance. I work with many people who are unqualified for their job, yet they are arrogant enough to believe they are. Some might call it confidence though.

It honestly kind of felt to me like Dana was paying Punk just to get to hang out with him for a couple years. Buying Phil's Friendship, as it were.
