"First of all, let me start by saying this: the respect that this guy has earned from his team, his coaches... he's a dog, man. He actually just moved to Milwaukee so he can be closer to training. He's committed to this thing, the guy's an absolute stud and a joy to work with. He's looking phenomenal. His deal is, he can call me and when he's ready to fight, he calls me and it's on man. I'm thinking early next year."
-UFC President Dana White updates his thoughts on CM Punk's progress in an interview with TMZ Sports (transcribed by BloodyElbow.com).
Penick's Analysis: Punk's had good things said about him from all who are working with him in this endeavor, and he continues to approach it all in a very serious and professional manner. The more he continues to make strides, the less likely it becomes that he'll look out of place when he finally makes his debut. We'll get a real look once he can make that walk to the cage, but after six or seven months of dedicated work, he's on the right path.
