It's the first of what will need to be many sessions to get him ready for his eventual UFC debut, which won't happen until later this year at the earliest.
Penick's Analysis: Punk's striking game is where he needs to improve most if he's going to be able to do anything in the Octagon. He's been training in jiu jitsu for quite some time, and by the account of some who have trained with him, he's got some skills in that aspect of the sport. But his striking game has to be at least somewhat adequate if he's to fight in the UFC, so working with the team at Roufusport could be extremely beneficial on that front.
