Anthony Pettis Praises Ex-WWE Superstar CM Punk, Says He's Still Training in MMA

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis has said CM Punk is still in MMA training despite his two heavy losses in the sport and has praised his application during workouts.

The former WWE star has endured a tough time since starting his professional MMA career. He lost in the first round of his first fight against Mickey Gall in 2016 (rear-naked choke), and last summer Mike Jackson beat him via unanimous decision in his second UFC outing.

Even so, according to Pettis—who trains with Punk at the Roufusport gym—the former wrestler is still hard at work on his MMA skills, per TMZ.
