CM Punk Found Not Guilty in $4 Million Defamation Lawsuit Ahead of UFC 225

Former pro wrestling star Phil Brooks, better known as CM Punk, has dealt with an added bit of stress the week before his second Octagon appearance at UFC 225 on Saturday. Fortunately, the end result was positive for him.

On Tuesday, Punk was found not guilty in a defamation lawsuit filed by a WWE doctor against him and pro wrestler Colt Cabana, according to prowrestlingsheet.com. Dr. Christopher Amann was seeking $4 million dollars in damages for comments Punk made during on a podcast in November 2014 as well as additional punitive damages.
