CM Punk
According to MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn, CM Punk’s fighter rating in the upcoming EA UFC 2 video game is 85/100.
The rating is getting fans a little upset, and Punk has made some comments about everyone getting all riled up, having some fun at their expense:
Hey! This is cool. I hope it makes dummies furious. https://t.co/HpzbGzvX6i

Not since Samus Aran was revealed to be a woman have dummies been this butt hurt about a video game.

The EA Sports UFC Twitter account did later comment on the matter, telling fans that ratings are not finalized and nothing formal was announced yet. EA Sports UFC 2 is scheduled for a March 15th North American release, followed by worldwide on March 17th.
