Speculation Continues To Mount That Former WWE Champion CM Punk May Have Another MMA Fight Coming Up Soon

It looks like CM Punk may indeed have his second MMA fight coming up soon.

Back in January, the former WWE Champion spoke to FOX news and promised that he would fight again, despite his somewhat humiliating defeat at the hands of Mickey Gall last year.

“I am working on it feverishly,” the 38 year old revealed. “I’m throwing names at Dana (White), opponents, dates. I don’t know if he’s waiting for a Chicago show or what the deal is but if it doesn’t happen in the UFC, it will happen somewhere else. I’m dedicated to fighting and training. We’ll get there.”

Despite Punk's enthusiasm, we still haven't had any official word on when his next fight would take place - however, coach Duke Roufus of Roufusport MMA Academy shared the Instagram pic below, leading to speculation that Punk's opponet and a date for the bout may have been decided upon:
