- Though the UFC’s signing of Phil Brooks — better known by his pro wrestling handle of CM Punk — has been polarizing for some MMA fans, gyms around the country have been vocal via social media in inviting him to join their teams.
One such recruiter was none other than newly crowned welterweight champion Robbie Lawler, who reached out to CM Punk on Twitter after he took the belt from Johny Hendricks at UFC 181. Lawler invited him to join American Top Team down in Coconut Creek, Florida.
"Hey @cmpunk everyone doubted me too. I moved down to @americantopteam and proved them wrong. Come here and do the same," he tweeted on Dec. 8, two days after winning the title.
On Monday, Lawler appeared on The MMA Hour and explained himself. He said that having CM Punk at ATT would not only be a boon for his team, but also a good place for Brooks get some MMA know-how. continued... | |
