Fun Fridays With CM Punk

Fightland recently profiled Roufusport MMA, featuring CM Punk and MMA trainer Duke Roufus in a “Fun Friday” editorial. The article profiles Punk and his UFC training under Roufus so far, and includes some photos of the team in the training facility. You can read an excerpt by author Sascha Matuszak below: 

Punk has a different poise. When Duke Roufus calls the group in for his final speech, it isn’t about the striking game or takedown defense, it’s about social media and developing a persona. It’s uncharted ground for most of the fighters. Roufus tells them to find their signature move, the Showtime move, so people can remember them, become fans, care about their fights. Tweet each other. What’s the hashtag campaign for this week? When Phil adds his voice to this conversation, everyone stops to listen. He’s not the celebrity in the gym anymore, but that team member with a skill set none of them have yet.
