LAS VEGAS -- The UFC has signed former WWE professional wrestler CM Punk to fight in the Octagon.
The promotion announced the signing during its UFC 181 pay-per-view broadcast Saturday night. CM Punk, birth name Phil Brooks, never has fought professional mixed martial arts.
"This is my new career, 100-percent," CM Punk said in a statement. "I'm going to go full steam ahead, all systems go after today, and it's going to be fun."
UFC president Dana White said CM Punk intends to fight at middleweight (185 pounds), but said he'd be open to 170 pounds.
The UFC took to Twitter to announce that CM Punk is expected to make his Octagon debut in 2015.
